Learning To Fly

Into the distanse, ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a wind swept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistable grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied & twisted just an eath-bound misfit.I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings. I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to goide my way home
Unladened. empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied & twisted just an eath-bound misfit.I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the
Night.

There's no sensation to compare with this,
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied & twisted just an eath-bound misfit.I
