Flying Dream 1

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Flying dream one Dead of the night when the prayer group was gone Mum and my sisters all blissful at feather Candlewick swaddled my golden wee brother Dad's across town tonight fixing The Mirror Shaking his head at a richer man's grammar Swerving the creakers, I slide to the stairs Tighten my dressing gown, mutter a Mary Then I lean forward and step into the air [Chorus] Step into the air Like I've always known Deep in my bones Step into the air Step into the air [Verse 2] Fireflies rise Spiralling up till we blanket the skies Every neighbourhood's sleepy wee dreamers Over the hills at the edge of my knowledge Skimming the breakers, deft as a petrel Holcombe and Pendle, Nelson and Colne Follow the landing lights guiding me home The house with the stair where I step into the air [Chorus] Step into the air Like I've always known Deep in my bones Step into the air Step into the air [Chorus] Like I've always known Deep in my bones Step into the air Step into the air
