Bird In An Aeroplane
Lyrics Oh Land

Feathered to the tips
Lightweight but strong
I can only go this long
Iron steel and smoke
Your power is endless
I'm only flesh and bones

Every machine holds a promise to break
Stuck in a dream that I may not escape

I pray for hurricanes
You take off when I want to stay
Out of steam I'm off terrain
I'm a bird in an aeroplane

Crossing continents
We're going in loops
Tell me, will we ever land?
Longing to return
To somewhere I've known
Something quite familiar ooh

Every machine holds a promise to break
Stuck in a dream that I may not escape

I pray for hurricanes
You take off when I want to stay
Out of steam I'm off terrain
I'm a bird in an aeroplane

We're flying over mountains higher every day
I'm trying to keep up
Trying to match your game
While you are gaining height I'm fading into grey
And away…

I pray for hurricanes
You take off when I want to stay
Out of steam I'm off terrain
I'm a bird in an aeroplane
