I wasn't paying attention
to the droning of your intentions;
I was a thousand feet above Land's End.
I was battling with the cross-wind.
I'm in the rattling and the tension,
between gravity and the engine.
Flying ever closer to heaven -
it's beyond all my comprehension.
All the boys are sailing and they're never seen again,
They've gone diving for the sirens in the waves.
All the boys are sailing and they're never seen again,
You can keep the silver pennies for my eyes.
Because I see the Thames; it's glistening.
The sky is slowly falling in.
Another continent drifts below me.
A compass points to my destination.
I never thought that I'd feel this lonely.
I never thought I'd feel so alive.
Amy of the skies
Amy of the skies
All the boys are sailing and they're never seen again,
You can keep the silver pennies for my eyes.
Now I see the Thames; it's glistening
The sky is falling down.
