From the recording Transportation
Lyrics
Ship leaves the dock
It slips below the horizon
The captain checks the clock
It takes time to reach the island
And I see you on the deck
No signals I can send your way
Oh, catch me in the act
Of trying to turn the tide away
Airplane has lift off
Steel bird breaks the clouds
Soar beyond the horizon
Taking all of my life
No radio contact
As you take it to the sky
I know you'll live the good life
Take yourself to a new high
Fast car down the highway
Burn the rubber and drive
You'll never take away
Any soul still alive
Your hair blows in the wind
Graceful and to my delight
I give you one last look
As you fade into the light
