Learning to fly

[00:35.19] Into the distance, a ribbon of black

[00:40.77] Stretched to the point of no turning back

[00:45.81] A flight of fancy on a wind swept field

[00:50.86] Standing alone my senses reeled

[00:56.70] A fatal attraction is holding me fast

[01:01.75] How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

[01:04.67] Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky

[01:13.18] Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I

[01:19.82] Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

[01:36.02] Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything

[01:42.66] No navigator to find my way home

[01:47.44] Unladened, empty and turned to stone

[01:53.55] A soul in tension that's learning to fly

[01:59.13] Condition grounded but determined to try

[02:05.77] Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

[02:11.08] Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I

[02:18.52] Friction lock, set

[02:20.79] Mixtures, rich

[02:22.64] Propellers, fully forward

[02:26.36] Flaps, set - 10 degrees

[02:29.56] Engine gauges and suction, check

[02:32.48] Above the planet on a wing and a prayer

[02:59.32] My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air

[03:05.16] Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

[03:09.67] Out of the corner of my watering eye

[03:16.42] A dream unthreatened by the morning light

[03:21.48] Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

[03:28.11] There's no sensation to compare with this

[03:32.89] Suspended animation, a state of bliss

[03:39.54] Can't keep my mind from the circling sky

[03:43.26] Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
