fly me away where I can't see the ground
where I can't see the people
and can't hear a sound
fly me away in a hot air balloon
promise me love that we'll fly away soon
I already take flight in my dreams every night
sometimes I'm alone in the basket
but don't fret you're not far
and you usually are
adding fire to the air and my thoughts
fly me away dear I'm not scared of heights
just floating and drifting like dust motes in light
fly me away to impossible places
to the sun and the stars and the moon's many faces
its peaceful up here and we won't speak a word
in my hot air balloon i'm as free as a bird
fly me away to a day with no plans
and no maps and no clocks
and no way back again
there's no thinking
no thinking
the thinking is through
I'm so sick of thinking
and I'll never come down
I really must stay
promise me love that you'll fly me away
