Caroline's Spine - Sullivan Lyrics

Send "Sullivan" ringtone to your cell

Its not hard to reach back to the day

underneath an iowa sun

running to the tower of waterloo

looking for the sullivan train to come

his five boys would run to the top and salute him as he went

By

first he'd wave hello and then we'd wave goodbye.

its not hard to reach back to the days

after the attack on pearl

and overnight my buddies turned into men

running out of time for games and girls.

the sullivan boys were not overlooked

uncle sam called them each by name.

the very next day they left on a mystery train. so say goodbye mrs. sullivan and don't you cry "...we regret to inform you

the navy has taken your sons away..." all five...

so put your blue star in the window.

it's not hard to reach back to her smile

when she'd receive a letter.

the letters sounded generally the same it said

if they couldn't be home at least they were together

on a mighty fighting battleship

somewhere in the south pacific.

the letters never got much more specific.

say goodbye mrs. sullivan and don't you cry

"...we regret to inform you

that the navy is keeping your sons away" all five...

so keep your blue star in the window.

it's not hard to reach back to the day the war finally came

Home

uncle sam will send you a telegram

so he doesn't have to tell you over the phone.

i heard she cracked up when she found what the war had cost.

all five of her boys were lost.

say goodbye mrs. sullivan go ahead and cry.

"...we regret to inform you all your sons have passed away."

all five...

so change your blue star to gold.
