Story Behind The Song

keyboardist Steve came up with the music and I wrote the lyrics in one sitting, posing questions of the self with keyboard solo by t Lavitz of the dixie dregs and drum solo by jeff sipe from susan tedeshi's band

Song Description

written about a married friend at home without the wife, kids and pets for an evening lameting about his bachelorhood while a friend in his 40's without love laments over being single

Lyrics

hovering over terrain deemed to plain to explain that which is fleeting
in the distance existence puts up no resistance to horizons forever receding
no shadows to accompany you
no flying machines swing into view
alone without peer transcending all fear
as the world disappears below, flying solo

the vaporized light appears within site reflecting off-white in the sunlight
cumulus clouds collecting in crowds of shrouded tunics in mid-flight
faces of loved ones whisk by from your past
for a moment you know them but a moment can't als
alone no regrets no children no pets
a moment in time time forgets, flying solo

take off if you dare and soar through the air without care as you stare into nothing
the world spins below and there's no where to go so you flow out of touch and you're bluffing
the game has been played and you're weary today
and there's no one around to tell you you're ok
disillusion sets in and the questions beign and you wonder if you'll ever win, flying solo, flying solo, flying!!!
