Night Flight


We spend our nights traveling
But never leave the room
Soaring through the midnight clouds
Followed by the moon
You teach me what I never knew
So easily
You take me where I’ve never been
Stay with me
You tell me things I’ve never heard
Without a word
Without a word

Night flight
Leaving this old earth behind
Who knows what we’ll find
The higher we climb
Night flight
Never been so far from home
Together alone
Destination unknown

My mind does not belong to me
You interrupt my day
And when I try to concentrate,
You steal my thoughts away
And even when we’re miles apart,
I feel your hand and
Memory is more real to me
Than where I am
Suddenly, I stop and stare
Though you’re not there,
You’re everywhere

Night flight
Leaving this old earth behind
Who knows what we’ll find
The higher we climb
Night flight
Never been so far from home
Together alone
Destination unknown

Night flight
So like night flight

So like night flight
(repeat and fade out)
