Airfield

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A field, desolate and underfoot A tarmac river flows I wait to depart, an inconceivable art When you're no wings and all elbows Oh, it's so cold, I watch my breath unfold It wraps us in a cloud of gloom Through adversity Hope must not become the casualty [Verse 2] It's common for people to believe Everything happens for a reason I'm sorry, that's false and it's poison But even if there is no purpose To the things that you have gone through An ordeal can reveal an airfield [Bridge] Stop, disown fear and I'll be here If you need a friend, my dear [Refrain] So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah, you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out No, it don't mean you're out, now [Pre-Chorus] So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah, you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out No, it don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out So you're down on your luck, you're down You're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out No, it don't mean— [Chorus] So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah, you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out (No, it don't!) So you're down on your luck, you're down Yeah, you're down on your luck, you're down But that don't mean you're out It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out, now It don't mean you're out [Outro] When the wind's against you, remember this insight That's the optimal condition for birds to take flight Now the wind's against you, don't give up the fight
