lyrics

It's the time of year again, when the night is dim
I can see the tail of the wind, we'll soon begin
We'll leave the town forget our kind, my bird my wing
I can see the way in frosty air, my bird my wing

We're just takin' off
Take me to the wall
For you my day just grew

Her feather bleeds a fading blue. The tail is true
We glide the night without no sound. Her wings don't move

We're miles from the start
Take me to the wall
For you my day just grew
My day just grew
My day just grew
Soar with me

Won't you take me to the wall, my bird my wing
The wind it whispers words so few, the land, for you
The waves are white just like the moon, the trees, brand new
Gently down her talons hit the ground, my bird my wing

We're just calming down
It's more than I could want
For you my day just grew
My day just grew
My day just grew
Soar with me
