In heavy consternation I move across the hall   I pictured this so many times   and wasn't scared at all   but every time I got this far I never felt so small   my mind was full of questions   of arguments and lies   but every word was melted down    when I looked in your eyes   and I don't need these memories    for now I'm mesmerised   and I'm staring down the barrel of my life      Now I'm entranced, you possess my full attention   how my thoughts dance freely on the journey   you intended all along, to somewhere I belong   like a pilot in the sky of dreams      Can you promise me the world   and everything I need   can you promise me the world   can you promise me a sky   that's trouble free and clear   so it's safe for me to fly      But who can stop my plane (stop my plane)   from drifting out of range (far away)      Will this sky be precious to defend   will my sights go dark before the end   will I see the landing lights again      Can you offer me the speed   to travel like the wind   if I ever feel the need   can you guarantee the sun   won't melt away my wings   way before my journey's done      And who can stop my plane (stop my plane)   from drifting out of range (far away)      Drifting away (drifting away)   out of the grey and out of control   such a nice day (such a nice day) for drifting away      What became of the blue horizon   are you sure I was flying blind   never saw that the plane was diving   never thought I was out of time   and now I'm disenchanted   you endure my disaffection   all my systems running red   the radio is down and there's trouble ahead      Get me back down   I lost my way and I want to be grounded   get me back down   I lost my way coming out of the storm      Did I promise you a sky   where rain would never fall   or did you listen to a lie   did you radio to base   I waited for your call   but you left without a trace      But I could stop your plane (stop your plane)   from drifting out of range (far away)      Still this sky is precious to defend   still your sights will last until the end   you will see the landing lights again
