Inflight

Following the sun home we are avoiding the night
Until the clouds below are far above, it's 8 o'clock
The sun sets where you are
My heart waits where you are

And I still hear the ocean...
And I still hear you say...
We used words like ‘forever'
Like waves wash sandcastles away
And I still hear the ocean

With my ear against this shell
The turbines go into reverse, we're landing soon
And I can't wait to see you
The closure in your touch, and to look into your eyes
I must have parted with so much
To be left with this vice

And still she sings war stories with conviction and a nostalgic glisten in her eye...
