There's a melancholy feeling about this. Maybe classic rock is melancholy. "The Low Spark of High-Healed Boys" (1971) comes to mind
- Don't worry too much
it'll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
or "Sultans of Swing" (1978).

The cinnamon sky and shooting make me think of war -- even though the merchant marines are not a military force. And why do I have to tell your mother anything if you make it back -- that's a nice reversal of the usual, "if I don't make it back."
Time to get my stick and play some hockey.
