Flying Solo

Ilse De Lange

'cross the bering strait

to a foreign land

I took the sky just like I planned

left my old life behind

there in the ice and snow

followed a rainbow to mexico



somwhere this side of lucky

just shy of goin' down

there's a pilot with her wings on fire

and she doesn't even notice

she's got magic on her mind

'cause she's flying solo for the first time



flying solo

like an angel in the night

flyin' solo

across the great devide

I've been down so lo'w now I'm up so high

there ain't nothin' short of dying

is gonna make me change my mind

flyin' solo, flyin' solo



like a fallin' leaf

I fell down from you tree

chalk one up to prosperity

in search of warmer waters

I'm like a bird gone south

don't know just what I'll find

but I'm findin' out



now here I'm dancin' with the moon

spinning out of control

never be the same again

'cause there's a place on the horizon

where it hardly ever rains

the sun is always shining

freedom is it's name



flying solo

like an angel in the night

flyin' solo

across the great devide

I've been down so lo'w now I'm up so high

there ain't nothin' short of dying

is gonna make me change my mind

flyin' solo, flyin' solo



around the world that where I'll be

amelia earheart's got nothin' on me



flying solo

like an angel in the night

flyin' solo

across the great devide

I've been down so lo'w now I'm up so high

there ain't nothin' short of dying

is gonna make me change my mind

flyin' solo, flyin' solo
