Air Born

In a pressurised cabin I will write

Letters blue and white

Deputies of hope and honesty

I will stare outside

And photograph the flight

Trace the swimming lights

Collision course for continents and me

Although the air is thin

You know it rushes by

But it's a home for us

Oh, the pleasure is all mine

And all the images

Are running through my head

However many times

Still there's room for one more yet

In a winter sky

Twin blankets for the night

Tears stream from my eyes

Blotting on the envelopes from me

Oh, I will close my eyes

And picture wider aisles

Families on each side

The ceremony doesn't frighten me

Although the air is thin

You know it rushes by

But it's a home for us

And oh, the pleasure is all mine

We used to worry more

We used to be concerned

It's all forgotten now

We'll fly in circles round the earth

So seating E to I

Oh, you're the neighbours now

We're gonna stay up here

We're never going to come back down

And all the images

Are running through my head

However many times

Still there's room for one more yet

For one more yet

For one more yet

One more yet
