Twilight Flight to Chicago



A clear sky, take a window seat
Eyes stretch over state-lines, let's make ends meet
Dusty purple and city lights
Sparkling like glitter, thrown from these great heights
Suspend the views, look out below!
With a word, my voice will throw
Catch it, hear me? I'm up there
Where your desires thin the air

Watch as twilight skies turn black
Reflecting all your wishes back
From within these starry bulbs
And metal wings will soar
