Fear Of Flying

(album: Sand In Your Shoes - 1995)

I always knew the other side of love
I always knew the other side of love
I needed every friend
To fill up the bus and to stay with me
So the journey won't ever end

We'll have a little music sure enough
To keep our spirits high
Some of us may even fall in love
Others gaze out of the windows and sigh

There's a bus leaving town tonight
Someone has already said
It's not the arriving, it's the getting there
But the road is dark ahead

Don't you worry 'bout the destination
We all know where it ends
On this trip it's the only certainty
That's why I need all these friends

The last time someone got off the bus
I never realized how long we'd spend
Looking at empty seats in front of us
It's a long old road that has no bend
It's a long old road that has no bend

There's a bus leaving town tonight
Every second of every day
It's not the arriving that matters so much
But what happens along the way
But what happens along the way

They say, only bet what you can stand to lose
Don't take a lover if you don't want to cry
But how can you reach out for the stars
If you're too scared to fly?

I always knew the other side of love
I needed every friend
To fill up the bus and to stay with me
So the journey won't ever end
So the journey won't ever end
So the journey won't ever end
