As We Fly - Pete Bellis & Tommy

Along the edge of this airfield The old prop-shaft airliners stand Altimeters reading zero Formless memories lingering Nights are cold on this airfield I sit alone and watch the radar Locked on the wavelength, caught in the beam Falling slowly into the screen Every day that you wait Is one more that you've lost When you wake up I see you there On display Lights the final point of no return Taking us there from here And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here (we can fly) Into a sky that's clearing Look back we'll dry the tears For those once held so nearly And love will never disappear Along the edge of this airfield The old prop-shaft airliners stand Altimeters reading zero Formless memories lingering Lingering, lingering, lingering And we can fly from here Into a sky so clearly Look back, we'll dry the tears For those once held so nearly And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here On the understanding that we can fly Everyday that you waste Is one more that you've lost On display That's a final point of no return Everyday that you waste Is one more that you've lost On display That's a final point of no return

My harbour lights are fading fast Soon they'll disappear Alone I sit in darkness Hoping someone might come near Though I wait, though I try No one ever comes And the feeling that I have flood over me The river starts to run We fly so close We fly so close Sometimes we fly too close Every place you run to, everywhere you turn There are places that you know you should not go But some bridges just won't burn All my life, though I try I cannot change the past And the ghosts that come back to haunt you Make you realise at last We fly so close We fly so close Sometimes we fly too close We fly too close My heart is racing much faster now Life passes before my eyes Some things I see, they make me smile Some things they make me cry So I look, so I try to find A lesson I can learn The passing of time hasn't changed my mind And the ghosts I know return You know we fly so close We fly so close Sometimes we fly too close We fly too close Oh, we fly so close You and I sometimes Sometimes we fly so close We'll never know how many times Oh, we fly so close We fly so close
