    Story Behind the Song
    This is the theme song to the movie I never wrote. The title was taken from the heading of a small article in a local paper. I didn't read it, but the title stuck with me...

    A flyer is lost and trying to find his way home. He doesn't know that he's stuck in time and won't land for another 50 years...

    I never got to perform this song live when I lived in the UK, but I just had to include it on the album. It turned out so much better than I expected.

    It's the only time I've let my Pink Floyd influences come through. Enjoy!

    Lyrics
    There's ice on my wings
    I've fallen behind
    I'm a long way out
    I maybe out of time
    My altitude's high
    My heart feels so low
    There's nothing on radar
    Static on the radio
    Above these clouds
    It's a sea of dreams
    The things that I wanted
    Are not what they seemed

    Don't give up hope
    Don't say I'm gone, I'm not gone
    Don't close your heart
    When things go wrong, oh so wrong
    I know that I'm last
    But I'm moving fast, moving fast
    Leave on the lights
    I'm coming home

    Through misty eyes
    I catch the sunrise
    The engines drone
    Keeps me hypnotised
    It's dark below
    Up here it's so clear
    Nothing is clouded
    When you are this near
    Now I can see my journey's
    End is in sight
    I knew you were always
    My guiding light

    Don't give up hope
    Don't say I'm gone, I'm not gone
    Don't close your heart
    When things go wrong, oh so wrong
    I know that I'm last
    But I'm moving fast, moving fast
    Leave on the lights
    I'm coming home
