Airplane Man Lyrics by Chris Pureka

The Longest Year

0

Can you build me a Skyhawk with the grace of a dove?
Can you draw me a map without any lines?
We are lonely strands twisted together dears
We are threads in an intricate design
People used to talk as a way of remembering
Just a few lonely pictures, mostly of holidays
But I’ve got a mind full of photographs
I have a mind full of elegant machines
Hey my friends, I always knew I’d be famous someday and now you’re all singing about me, I guess that’s famous enough
Hey my friеnds, don’t worry I’m on the horizon, ‘cause I’m not a deep sea divеr, I’m an airplane man
Roll me back to the top and I’m just a curious boy
Fill my old wooden rowboat up with sand
One more time around the mulberry tree
One more sunset over Lake Michigan
Yeah, me and my old man, back in the balsa days….Cigar in his mouth, glue on my hands
Well, I’m not much different from that curious boy, yeah I have always been an airplane man
Hey my friends, I always knew I’d be famous someday, and now you’re all singing about me, I guess that’s famous enough
Hey my friends, don’t worry I’m on the horizon, ‘cause I’m not a deep sea diver, I’m an airplane man
Hey my friends, don’t worry I’m up in the sky, ‘cause I never was a railroad guy, I’m an airplane man
I’m an airplane man
Can you build me a skyhawk with the grace of a dove?
