The Flyer Lyrics

The Flyer lyrics

He was a flyer for the Air Force
On a plane from San Antonio
I was
traveling to London
He was going off to Buffalo
Changing planes in
Pittsburgh
We got grounded in a storm
Now, I would give anything
To be
on that flyer's arm

We played cards, mostly blackjack
As we sat out on
the tarmac
We sang songs we knew in Spanish
As we both loved songs of
language
He'd heard me on the radio
I'd seen the flyers on San
Antone
Now, I would give anything
To have that flyer for my
own

God bless the flyer
Who would be flying home tonight
I would
give anything
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight

He said he'd never
married
Cuz, his heart was in the clouds
And I said I was too clumsy

That I broke the wings of the loves I found
He shouted out his name to
me
As I ran to make my flight
Now, I would give anything
To see that
flyer, flyin' tonight

One year I watched a war in London
In the
airport leaving London
And I wondered if I'd know him 
If I saw his wings
in motion
Did I leave my heart in Pittsburgh...
In the lightening of that
flight?
I wish that you could tell me now
Will he be flyin' home
tonight?

God bless the flyer
Who would be flying home tonight
I
would give anything
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight

God bless the
flyer
Who would be flying home tonight
I would give anything
To see
that flyer, flyin' tonight
