When the lights have all come down
And the jets cool on the ground
Your wind gentle from the east
Whispers low and speaks to me
Do you remember wings coming clear?
Far above in the stratosphere
We ran on currents electric
Through your eyes, I never could see
Whatever would be head over heels
Tumbling with me
And going headlong so high
Thought we'd never come back down
Whatever we'd do
It was me
It was you
And I wish I'd see you now
Through the fire in the clouds
Waves echo from the first kiss
Through the years, still burning like this
Do you remember wings flying far?
I'd wake to daylight and be right where you are
The sunlight's rays brightly
Through your eyes, I never could see
Whatever would be head over heels
Tumbling with me
And going headlong so high
Thought we'd never come back down
Whatever we'd do
It was me
It was you
That look on your face, it
Reminds me of needing you
From a thousand summers ago
When the world was still safe and
Words still went with meaning
The lines weren't yet drawn
Between you and me, had no scars to show
Watching over the airfield
With everyone else gone
But our hearts still beating
Take my hand, baby, don't let go
And let's not promise anything
We can't be keeping
Only to be there
When the other needs most
Through your eyes, I never could see
Whatever would be head over heels
Tumbling with me
And going headlong so high
Thought we'd never come back down
Whatever we'd do
It was me
It was
Through your eyes, I never could see
Whatever would be head over heels
Tumbling with me
And going headlong so high
Thought we'd never come back down
Whatever we'd do
It was me
It was you
