Flying Sorcery(Live) - Al Stewart&The Empty Pockets

[04:35.0]With your photographs of Kitty Hawk
[04:35.0]And the biplanes on your wall
[04:35.0]You were always Amy Johnson
[04:35.0]From the time that you were small.
[04:35.0]No schoolroom kept you grounded
[04:35.0]While your thoughts could get away
[04:35.0]You were taking off in Tiger Moths
[04:35.0]Your wings against the brush-strokes of the day
[04:35.0]Are you there?
[04:35.0]On the tarmac with the winter in your hair
[04:35.0]By the empty hangar doors you stop and stare
[04:35.0]Leave the oil-drums behind you, they won't care
[04:35.0]Oh, are you there?Oh, you wrapped me up in a leather coat
[04:35.0]And you took me for a ride
[04:35.0]We were drifting with the tail-wind
[04:35.0]When the runway came in sight
[04:35.0]The clouds came up to gather us
[04:35.0]And the cockpit turned to white
[04:35.0]When I looked the sky was empty
[04:35.0]I suppose you never saw the landing-lights
[04:35.0]Are you there?
[04:35.0]In your jacket with the grease-stain and the tear
[04:35.0]Caught up in the slipstream of dare
[04:35.0]The compass roads will guide you anywhere,
[04:35.0]Oh, are you there?The sun comes up on Icarus as the night-birds sail away
[04:35.0]And lights the maps and diagrams
[04:35.0]That Leonardo makes
[04:35.0]You can see Faith, Hope and Charity
[04:35.0]As they bank above the fields
[04:35.0]You can join the flying circus
[04:35.0]You can touch the morning air against your wheels
[04:35.0]Are you there?
[04:35.0]Do you have a thought for me that you can share?
[04:35.0]Oh I never thought you'd take me unawares
[04:35.0]Just call me if you ever need repairs
[04:35.0]Oh, are you there?
