In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

What a beautiful face

I have found in this place

That is circling all round the sun.

What a beautiful dream

That could flash on the screen

In a blink of an eye and be gone from me;

Soft and sweet

Let me hold it close and keep it here with me.

And one day we will die

And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea,

But for now we are young,

Let us lay in the sun

And count every beautiful thing we can see.

Love to be

In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me.

What a curious life

We have found here tonight,

There is music that sounds from the street,

There are lights in the clouds,

Anne's ghost all around,

Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me,

Soft and sweet,

How the notes all bend and reach above the trees.

Oh how I remember you,

How I would push my fingers through

Your mouth to make those muscles move;

That made your voice so smooth and sweet.

But now we keep where we don't know --

All secrets sleep in winter clothes

With one you loved so long ago.

Now he don't even know his name.

What a beautiful face

I have found in this place

That is circling all round the sun.

And when we meet on a cloud,

I'll be laughing out loud

I'll be laughing with everyone I see.

Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all.
