Fear of Flying Songtext

von Ralph McTell

I took a picture of a girl I once knew
I kept it here incase I'd run into you
The look on your face could light up a room
But instead you leftAnd now I'm sitting with my head
On the dashboard
Push the seat back and close my eyes
I had this dream that I was on an airplane
Afraid to fly
So i tipped my head to the side and I whispered
To this man that was in the isle
I said \"do you know how long it takes before we
Die?\"
And then I rolled awake

Can you take me back to the person I used to be
Back when you were there for me
I know it seems like forever but do me a favor please
Way back when we were stupid
Held grudges just to help us sleep
Oh my god, how ridiculous were we?

I stop your breathin everytime Im around girl
Your body's sweatin and your hands start to shake
I know you can't control your eyes but i know that
Your looks are fake
So tease me once and I swear I'll forget
How it feels when youve got nothing left
Well take it slow and only work at it sometimes
Oh yeah.

Can you take me back to the person I used to be
Back when you were there for me
I know it seems like forever but do me a favor please
Way back when we were stupid
Held grudges just to help us sleep
Oh my god, how ridiculous were we?

I took a picture of a girl I once knew
I kept it here incase I'd run into you
The look on your face could light up a room
But instead you left
