Tell me again how this metal bird flies
When the wings don't move?
The sky is so beautiful from up here.
How close do we get to you?
Space seems so big but somewhere your soul still roams
In that big old lake, we used to fish from.
So here I sit upon this metal bird.
Did you become the musky?
That controls the lake
Like you used to control the Euchre table.
When we were partners, we were unstoppable.
How many times did we play?
I lost track, we won so many.
Every time we fly, I feel you one step closer.
I can almost hear your voice
Like a loon on the surface of the lake.
It echoes just as its wings flap across the lake
As the majestic bird takes flight.
So here I sit, upon this metal bird.
The clouds splash like a fish underwater
Waiting for you to appear on top of the clouds,
Like a bass taking the bait off my line.
Wondering how long it will be until I fly again,
Since it's the only time, I feel your presence.
