Fly from Here – Overture

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

"Fly From Here - Pt II - Sad Night At The Airfield"

There are no ground staff in the empty corridors

Is no one sleeping?

No one awake?

I'd start an engine in the night

If only just to break the silence

That last intake of...

Air...

The clouds in the night as we breathe

Too late for even the night breathes to me

We can wait for dawn

To carry on

Then we can fly from here

I want to be the one

Who always gives you shelter

Finds you waitin'

Keep you warm

I want to be the one

Who's always there beside you

But we both must

Face the dawn...

Alone...

So cruel like the world that we leave

Too late for even the night breathes to me

We can wait for dawn

To carry on

Then we can fly from here

Only ghosts are in the empty corridors

They're all strangers

Never cared

I know them from some other life

When things were different

And we both were in the end

Turn yourself around (turn yourself around)

Turn your life around (turn your life around)

Turn your world around (turn your world around)

Turn this ship around (turn this ship around)

So turn your wheel around

I watch the sky

All defenses down

I watch the sky

I watch the sky

"Fly From Here - Pt III - Madman At The Screens"

Take a table

In the evening

By the waterside

Lonely eyes watch

As the moon shines

Down a silver tine

Looking out from this position

Are things what they seem?

It's been spreading out from

One decision

Into this bad dream

Out on the shoreline (shoreline)

Someone is waiting (waiting)

Wind that was falling is rising again

I hear the voices (voices)

I hear them calling (calling)

Every song was singing in the rain

Sailor, sailor beware

There are storm clouds

You must take care

Easy bring her around

Or the night will

Run you aground

I know...

In the ceiling

Over our heads

Fans and moving air

Spinning out the

Hours of darkness

Warning sound somewhere

Out on the shoreline (shoreline)

Someone is waiting (waiting)

The wind that was falling is rising again

I hear the voices (voices)

I hear them calling (calling)

Every song was singing in the rain

Sailor, sailor beware

There are storm clouds

You must take care

Easy bring her around

Or the night will

Run you aground

Morning

Here in the air

When you feel it

Know that you're there

Laying dark

Behind the scenes a

Madman at the screens

Laying dark

Behind the scenes a

Madman at the screens

Laying dark

Behind the scenes a

Madman at the screens

Dreaming...

Feeling the air...

Dreaming...

Seeing you there...

"Fly From Here - Pt IV - Bumpy Ride"

Dreaming

Seeing you there

See you sometime somewhere

"Fly From Here - Pt V - We Can Fly (Reprise)"

We can fly (we can fly)

We can fly (we can fly)

And we can fly from here

Into the sky that's clearing

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
