Airships lyrics

Artist  : VNV Nation 
Song : Airships
 


I pressed my face against the glass
Smiled as
my breath made some pattern or other
The world
beneath unfurled before me like a sail
Glinted
in gold from this rich dawn sky
Awaiting the
ship they had told me would come
Quietly
anticipating that which was to come

I
couldn't yet see you, still obscured by the
city
The towers of glass reflected your
coming
Silhouetted on the sunrise
Did I
blink as I watched? Did I close my eyes?

I
was not alone, I think it was the first
time
Watching you rise splendid and
graceful
I cheered as you sailed, a greatness
unknown
I laughed as I waved and imagined you
saw me
In the streets of the city, the windows
of buildings
A million faces gazing upwards in
wonder
A million faces together and cheering
and smiling
You were the warmth of their
hearts, you were the sum of their dreams
In
the coldness of morning you brought warmth to
their lives
Giving this feeling of wonder I
could not imagine
You unlocking these thoughts
no book and no picture could ever convey
This
feeling and morning had opened a door
I
stepped into a new world, I watched you
fly
Saw you as a friend, the spirit of
dreams
I imagined a new world, lands far
away,
And imagined those faces as you hung in
their sky

I'm leaving ground, stepping
into a new world
I'm leaving ground, a new
world and watching you fly
I stepped into, I
stepped into a new world
I was not alone, I
think it was the first time

I'm leaving
ground, stepping into a new world
I'm leaving
ground, stepping into a new world
Now I'm
leaving home, leaving everything, leaving
everything
I step into this new world leaving
everything

I'm leaving ground, stepping
into a new world
I'm leaving ground, stepping
into a new world
Now I'm leaving home, leaving
everything that I have ever known
I step into
this new world leaving everything

Leaving
everything, leaving everything
