Well, you’ve got your bags together

And you’re off into the new world

As he dials another station coming home

Old Ireland’s heart may still call him back

As sovereign of all, he’s likely second to none

Not just under our feet but from here to the coast

[Verse 5]
Fm
When you’re miles above Pacific Ocean waters
Fm
Without angel’s wings will help with getting closer

When my headphone cord untangles
Bbm
Oh, pilot, can you hear me?
Bbm
Our destination beckons
Fm
Counting raindrops on the windshield
Fm
Yet skies are clear, he reckons, for tonight
