lyrics

It must be almost flying time, Let's wake up the children
If flying is not just just for dreams, I love this time we live in

They told us you might last a month, I hope you have a secret
Someone called it Lilac time, someone should be hunting

I can fly, I can fly, I should fly…home

Hunting shows us what to take, We ask for what is hidden
Lilac time is warm and slow, Speed is what we're given

I heard about your flying dream, Lets wake up the children
It's been nine years since you have flown, We'll find out what you've hidden

I can fly, I can fly, I should fly…home

(Take me there with wooden wings, patch up all the holes
Learn to love the rusty wire, cancel my patrols
All I want is apple pie, champagne and a gun
Throw my friends a party, give my dog some TOAST ! )

I can fly, I can fly, I should fly…home

It must be almost hunting time, Let's wake up the children
If hunting is not just just for dreams, I love this time we live in

They told us you might last a month, I hope you have a secret
Someone called it Lilac time, someone should be flying

I can fly, I can fly, I can fly, I can fly, I should fly…home
