The Flyer
Lyricist:Nanci Griffith
He was a flyer for the air force on a plane from San Antonio I was traveling to London, he was going off to Buffalo Changing planes in Pittsburgh, we got grounded in a storm Now, I would give anything to be on that flyer's arm
We played cards, mostly blackjack, as we sat out on the tarmac We sang songs we knew in Spanish, as we both loved songs of language He'd heard me on the radio, I'd seen the flyers on San Antone Now, I would give anything to have that flyer for my own
God bless the flyer who would be flying home tonight 'Cause I would give anything to see that flyer, flyin' tonight
He said he'd never marry 'cause, his heart was in the clouds Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And I said I was too clumsy that I broke the wings of the loves I found And he shouted out his name to me as I ran to make my flight I would give anything to see that flyer, flyin' tonight
One year I watched a war in London, in the airport leaving London And I wondered if I'd know him if I saw his wings in motion Did I leave my heart in Pittsburgh, in the lightening of that flight? I wish that you could tell me now, will he be flyin' home tonight?
God bless the flyer who would be flying home tonight 'Cause I would give anything to see that flyer, flyin' tonight God bless the flyer who would be flying home tonight 'Cause I would give anything to see that flyer, flyin' tonight
