Enola Gay
by Orion Walsh

Album: The Tale of a Broken Compass

Miss Enola Gay
She up and left one day
On a long, long journey
On her maiden flight
From Omaha that night
She left in such a hurry

Little Boy inside
Enola flew with pride
To the shores of the Southern Pacific
She had a plan
For to kill that man
That caused her so much heartache

Revenge in her eyes
Enola nosedived
Toward the city of Hiroshima
Parsons gave the word
A loud blast was heard
In a flash, thousands turned to ashes

Enola disappeared
She shed not a tear
For all those that she had murdered
Spent the rest of her days
Watching her frame decay
All by her lonesome

Fifty years past
Enola at last
Was placed on display for the public
On opening day
Miss Enola Gay
Was dressed up for the occasion

Many had come
But one threw blood
All over the face of Enola
It was then she realized
What she'd done
And she cried
A tear, oh a tear
For all the lives she'd taken

See revenge never pays
And Miss Enola Gay
She found this out the hard way
