Kiss the Ground Goodbye Songtext

von Joanne Shaw Taylor

Kiss the Ground Goodbye

There's no mistaking the place I'm in
I've fallen short of where I should have been
I'm slipping back into a silhouette
Wasting time trying to catch my breath

One by one, clouds fill the sky
Day by day, I watch them slowly pass me by

One day I'll have the heart to show
I brought my wings and I'm good to go
One day I'll have the past turned right
I'll turn and kiss the ground goodbye

I watched the passing of a thousand moons
The way the planets shift too soon
I trust the flight of a thousand stars
The faintest spark can burn so far

Accept the tides, embrace the shifting sand
'cause only time can wash the mistakes from my hand

One day I'll have the heart to show
I brought my wings and I'm good to go
One day I'll have the past turned right
I'll turn and kiss the ground goodbye

One by one clouds fill the sky
Day by day I've seem them slowly pass me by

One day I'll have my ship all set
The same cool that I always get
One day I'll have my past turned right
Turn and kiss the ground goodbye

One day I'll have the heart to show
I brought my wings and I'm good to go
One day I'll have the past turned right
I'll turn and kiss the ground goodbye
