Flying Sorcery-Al Stewart

[00:20.75]With your photographs of Kitty Hawk [00:23.24]And the biplanes on your wall [00:25.93]You were always Amy Johnson [00:29.21]From the time that you were small. [00:31.21]No schoolroom kept you grounded [00:33.71]While your thoughts could get away [00:36.63]You were taking off in Tiger Moths [00:39.28]Your wings against the brush strokes of the day [00:44.40]Are you there? [00:47.40]On the tarmac with the winter in your hair [00:52.76]By the empty hangar doors you stop and stare [00:58.06]Leave the oil drums behind you, they won＇t care [01:04.04]Oh, are you there? [01:16.77]Oh, you wrapped me up in a leather coat [01:19.44]And you took me for a ride [01:22.11]We were drifting with the tail wind [01:24.42]When the runway came in sight [01:27.58]The clouds came up to gather us [01:30.03]And the cockpit turned to white [01:32.77]When I looked the sky was empty [01:35.07]I suppose you never saw the landing lights [01:40.42]Are you there? [01:43.29]In your jacket with the grease stain and the tear [01:49.01]Caught up in the slipstream of dare [01:54.23]The compass roads will guide you anywhere, [01:59.82]Oh, are you there? [02:55.16]The sun comes up on Icarus as the night birds sail away [03:00.45]And lights the maps and diagrams [03:03.43]That Leonardo makes [03:05.68]You can see Faith, Hope and Charity [03:08.02]As they bank above the fields [03:10.74]You can join the flying circus [03:13.42]You can touch the morning air against your wheels [03:18.55]Are you there? [03:21.38]Do you have a thought for me that you can share? [03:26.63]Oh I never thought you＇d take me unawares [03:31.97]Just call me if you ever need repairs [03:38.08]Oh, are you there?
