G A/G G Gmaj7
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Em7 D
Stretched to the point of no turning back

G
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
Em7
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Em7
Out of the corner of my watering eye
G
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Em7
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
[Chorus]

There's no sensation to compare with this

Suspended animation, a state of bliss

Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
