I Was a Pilot

Take me to that special place I spent with you
That airstrip's full
Of all our memories

The hanger's anchored to the ground
But I never found
That we were meant to

What did they say?
What did they say
As we flew over every day?

As a boy I lay in bed and filled my head
With thoughts of silver wings
With sunlight blazing

And in the War we learned to soar
But we were often spared
By my father's prayers

What did he say?
What did he say
With those silent words he prayed?

When was the last time that we went up there?
When was the last time they cared?
I can't recall your number or your sign
It is faded and dim in my mind

Time flew by and left you with a duller shade
But the silver made
It's way to my hair

At night awake the shadows make
Old memories come to life
That won't in daylight

What did I say?
What did I say
When we parted ways?

When was the last time that we went up there?
When was the last time they cared?
I can't recall your number or your sign
It is faded and dim
Forgotten at the end
When all my thoughts I spend
On you
