Paragraph Lyric
For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world
Didn't anybody know, didn't anyone suppose
That my life up here was slowly drifting by
And all I've got to do is sit and cry
The Earth is so clear and it's simply a reach away
I just had to laugh today but the news it seemed to say
That my life once full was surely running dry
I prayed a while but then I had to cry

Look in my eyes - I know
That man is surely just a man
It's no surprise - I know
The road is far too long
And life too short to carry on

For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world
Here in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhyme
Dangles aimlessly, time drips slowly by
And all I've got to do is sit and cry

Look in my eyes - I know
That man is surely just a man
It's no surprise - I know
The road is far too long
And life too short to carry on
For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world   Didn't anybody know, didn't anyone suppose   That my life up here was slowly drifting by   And all I've got to do is sit and cry    The Earth is so clear and it's simply a reach away   I just had to laugh today but the news it seemed to say   That my life once full was surely running dry   I prayed a while but then I had to cry       Look in my eyes - I know   That man is surely just a man   It's no surprise - I know   The road is far too long   And life too short to carry on       For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world   Here in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhyme   Dangles aimlessly, time drips slowly by   And all I've got to do is sit and cry       Look in my eyes - I know   That man is surely just a man   It's no surprise - I know   The road is far too long   And life too short to carry on
