Jimmy Webb Skywriter
[Verse 1]
I'm tired of tracin' vapor trail ghost letters in the sky
And livin' life in daydreams, watchin' precious time get by
Just circlin' around this great big world, just chasin' smoke
And never touchin' ground
[Chorus 1]
Like a skywriter
Rebel without a cause
Drifting without an aim
But I can't seem to give up this flyin' game
I'm a wing walker
Workin' without a net
That's all I've ever been
And sometimes I think I'm ever coming down again
[Verse 2]
Some people say I'm losing touch with harsh reality
Because I can't accept the way it is with you and me
Stop livin' in the past, like some old pilot from
A war that wouldn't end
[Chorus 2]
Like a barnstormer
Safe with my wires and wings
How could I ever fall
So serenely do I glide above it all
I'm a skywriter
I can't forget you yet
For whatever that is worth
And sometimes I think I'm never comin' back to earth
[Outro]
Skywriter
I can't forget you yet
For whatever that is worth
And sometimes I think I'm never comin' back to earth
