Skyswimmer Lyrics - Enter The Haggis

I met a man with eyes like glass 

Whose useful days were gone and passed 

He told me in a cardboard tone 

How long ago he once had flown 

 

When I was young he did relate 

I'd watch the birds as they'd escape 

From the greedy ground we grovelled on 

Into the clouds and then beyond... 

 

What kind of bird am I? 

How can I learn to fly? 

 

And so each day I'd try, he said 

To let go of my mind of led 

And with my body floating free 

Swim in the air as in the sea 

 

This was my greatest, strongest wish 

And so the air did not resist 

One day above the ground I rose 

And felt the air beneath my toes 

 

What kind of boy am I? 

How can I learn to fly? 

 

I rose above the tallest trees 

And summersalted in the breeze 

I dove with lightning speed and then 

I shot up to the clouds again 

 

I jumped off buildings with delight 

And laughed at those afraid of heights 

What need has anyone for fear 

When we are free and the sky is near? 

 

Oh, what a boy was I? 

When do we learn to die? 

 

And when I saw I was alone 

And no one close to me would come 

I soon forgot the joy of sky 

And gently back to earth came I 

 

I've never flown again, said he 

Because we're all alike, you see 

Our sickness strengthens unity 

And no one needs to question me 

 

What kind of boy was I? 

How could I learn to fly?
