| The Lumineers – Charlie Boy Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Charlie is a warfighter of some sort be it soldier or Marine. He has gone to war and died. His mother, Lilian, is reassured because she raised an honorable man. When a small town or neighborhood loses one of its sons, the town comes together. The women turn to religion. Especially the Catholics. Men are naturally angry. In a military Burial, bugles play "Taps" right after a 21 gun salute. 7 men fire three volleys and go to present arms. Taps is played to close the ceremony. |
