Lyrics

[Intro]
| G | - | Em | - |
| G | - | Em | - |

[Verse 1]
G
 Into the distance a ribbon of black
Em
  Stretched to the point of no turning back
G
 A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Em
Standing alone my senses reeled
G
 A fatal attraction is holding me fast
       Em
How can  I escape this irresistible grasp?

[Chorus]
C                               Am
 Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
F                               C           D
Tongue tied and twisted just an earth bound misfit,
 G Em
I

[Verse 2]
G
 Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Em
  Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything
G
 No navigator to find my way home
Em
  Unladened, empty and turned to stone

[Chorus]
C                         Am
 A soul in tension that's learning to fly
F                            C
 Condition grounded but determined to try
                               Am
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
F                               C           D
Tongue tied and twisted just an earth bound misfit,
I

[Bridge]

| Am | - | D | - |

[Verse 3]
G
 Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
Em
  My grubby halo,
a vapor trail in the empty air,
G
 Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Em
  Out of the corner of my watering eye
G
 A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Em
  Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

[Chorus]
C                           Am
 There's no sensation to compare with this
       F               C
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
                               Am
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
F                               C           D
Tongue tied and twisted just an earth bound misfit,
I
