The Pilot

from The Rogue Sessions by Sarah Donner

/

lyrics

If I could fly away in my own airplane
I’d plot a course to where you are
And land it at your gate
If I had a train I’d lay track night and day
The line would lead straight to you
And that’s where it would stay
And if I had a ship I’d sail it to your port
Your current’s strong and I belong
On your rocky shore

But waves that could lead you home
Just wear down the sand from stone
I know you’ll see one day
All the things in my way

So I’m afraid of heights, I never earned a pilot’s license
And I missed that train, I don’t know when the next one’s coming in
I won’t learn to swim, the water’s deep but I just wade in
Up to my knees I won’t go far if I can’t see my feet

But waves that could lead you home
Just wear down the sand from stone
I know you’ll see one day
All the things in my way

Break it to me now
If there’s a map then I will make it
Get up off the ground
If I have to I’ll hitchhike

But you are smart and brave
You could find a way to save this
Your telepathic brain
Can see that I’m the one who’s struggling
Look down from your great height
See how I’m climbing?

But waves that could lead you home
Just wear down the sand from stone
I know you’ll see one day
All the things in my way
