Way up here, the air is thin, my head is clear The clouds seem like a ground below, all temporal thoughts are overthrown It's hard to care, the stars light up the autumn air Bombs sink into the void below, just where they land I'll never know Flying home, I get scared, anti-aircraft everywhere I sink into the velvet black and dodge the leading lines of flak I've got just one flaw, my heart is like an open sore And I take just one dent, and I'll fall into a deep descent I fall into a deep descent I have found my heart can get up off the ground I taxi to the runway's end, and find when I take off, it's not there It won't be long till it finally comes and dogs me down It will come out of the moon one night and send me homeward in a ball of fire And that's why, flying home, I get scared, engine esters everywhere I'll sink into the velvet black and dodge the leading lines of flak I've got just one flaw, my heart is like an open sore I'll take just one hit, and I'll fall into a deep abyss I fall into a deep abyss I fall into a deep abyss And I fall, and I fall, and I fall Your eyes can save me Your eyes can save me Your eyes can save me Save me from myself Nothing can save me Nothing can save me Nothing can save me Save me from myself Save me from myself Save me from myself
Gorgeous, heart-breaking lyrics. I believe the lyrics hint at the reason he's been absent from music. Tragic. Sometimes pain creates beauty, though the one in pain seldom enjoys it
Jesus, I never had the vocal version of this, just the instrumental. The vocals didn't grab me when I got the album, and just put the instrumental on my mp3 player/stereo usb stick. I fucked up, what wrenching lyrics!
If im telling You about something Pretty or pristine You can be sure that Its a story with a slant The kind of tale You have to squint at For a while Before you can Figure its Heads or tails Even then, can you Really be sure
