Bird In An Aeroplane lyrics

Feathered to the tips Light weight but strong I can only go this long Iron, steel and smoke Your power is endless I’m only flesh and bones Every machine has a promise to break Stuck in a dream that I cannot escape I pray for hurricanes You take off when I want to stay Out of steam I’m off terrain I’m a bird in an aeroplane Crossing continents We’re going in loops Tell me will we ever land Longing to return To somewhere I’ve known Something quite familiar Every machine has a promise to break Stuck in a dream that I cannot escape I pray for hurricanes You take off when I want to stay Out of steam I’m off terrain I’m a bird in an aeroplane We’re flying over mountains Higher every day I’m trying to keep up Trying to match your game While you are gaining height I’m fading into grey And away
