dive bombing

The man was not the kind to say "I love you"
He'd look you in the eye and you'd know how he felt
When Dad was of a mind to tell you something
He said it with an open fist, a switch or a belt

Dive bombing alone
After all the bars have closed
Dive bombing was all he'd ever known

He spent his life running from ghosts and demons
You must have been blind
One day when you look into the mirror
I wonder who you'll find?

Dive bombing alone
After all the crowd's gone home
Dive bombing will sure enough get you low

And it may as well have been blood
All the oil and the sweat and the mud
That stained his hands
Left their mark on the wood
He did all that you can, that he could
He did all that you can, that he could
He did all that you can, that he could
He did all that you can, more than you ever even thought he would
He did all...He did all...
After all, it's only love
And dive bombing is so much easier from above
