lyrics

It could have been the city
Old trains passing through
Reflections in my window
Staring back at you

It could have been the times
We lost the lights below
Make believe in somewhere else
Somewhere we could go

You're up in the sky
On a 195
Could you circle around?
Instead of coming down

Not too long ago
I got your postcard from Tokyo
And the words they read just like a voice
That I heard so long ago

The shadows in my dreams
Are calling out to me goodbye
I hear your voice once again
I felt that storm subside

You're up in the sky
On a 195
Could you circle around?
Instead of coming down

Paper skyline that you call home
Basking in the moonlight
Painted picture from where you've gone
Horizon streaked with white

Cloudy scars of an aeroplane
Haloed in the sunshine
Cursive words read,
"I wish you were here, come look me up sometime"

Don't worry baby, I'll come through
And when I do I intend to call on you
Cabin pressure formulated charm
"It's nice to see you, has it been so long?
Take a walk to clear my jet lagged mind
City lights blur in and out of time
Red balloon leaking it's helium charm
"It's great to see you, hope it won't be so long"

So long...
