[Verse 1]
Along the edge of this airfield
The old prop-shaft airliners stand
Altimeters reading zero
Formless memories lingering

[Verse 2]
Nights are cold on this airfield
I sit alone and watch the radar
Locked on the wavelength, caught in the beam
Falling slowly into the screen

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyday that you waste
Is one more that you've lost
When you wake up, I see you there
On display lights the final point of no return
Taking us there from here

[Chorus]
And we can fly from here (We can fly)
And we can fly from here (We can fly)
And we can fly from here (We can fly)
Into a sky so clearly (We can fly)
Look back, we'll dry the tears
For those once held so nearly
And love will never disappear
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
Along the edge of this airfield
The old prop-shaft airliners stand
Altimeters reading zero
Formless memories lingering
Lingering, lingering, lingering (Ohhh)

[Chorus]
And we can fly from here (We can fly)
Into a sky so clearly (We can fly)
Look back, we'll dry the tears
For those once held so nearly
And love will never disappear

[Outro]
We can fly
We can fly
We can fly
On the understanding
That we can fly
