Morphine 1-2 - Mary Gauthier

Rotors spin as she’s running for the bell

She was a fearless pilot with a heart of gold

I never really knew her all that well

She had one more flight and she was headed home

Sprinting hard 'cause there were lives to save

He was a young marine with an iron cross tattoo

A little cocky, righteous, strong and brave

The co-pilot, Morphine 1−2

And my head knows but my heart can’t see

And it’s not like it should’ve been me

But I wish I had been there on that day

Even now, I’d take their place

Seven souls took off on that flight

It was a desert blood drop in the light of day

A few more seconds could’ve saved their lives

But the story wasn’t gonna end that way

And my head knows but my heart can’t see

And it’s not like it should’ve been me

But I wish I had been there on that day

Even now, I’d take their place

Seven stars shine down on me now

Lights that burn in everything I do

Till we meet again someday, somehow

Semper Fi, Morphine 1−2

And my head knows but my heart can’t see

And it’s not like it should’ve been me

Still I wish that I’d been there on that day

Even now, I’d take their place
