    2. Fly From Here: Part I - We Can Fly

      Along the edge of this airfield
      The old prop-shaft airliners stand
      Altimeters reading zero
      Formless memories lingering
      Nights are cold on this airfield
      I sit alone and watch the radar
      Locked on the wavelength, caught in the beam
      Falling slowly into the screen
      Every day that you wait
      Is one more that you've lost
      When you wake up
      I see you there
      On display
      Lights the final point of no return
      Taking us there from here
      And we can fly from here (we can fly)
      And we can fly from here (we can fly)
      And we can fly from here (we can fly)
      Into a sky that's clearing
      Look back we'll dry the tears
      For those once held so nearly
      And love will never disappear
      [Instrumental]
      Along the edge of this airfield
      The old prop-shaft airliners stand
      Altimeters reading zero
      Formless memories lingering
      Lingering, lingering, lingering
      And we can fly from here
      Into a sky so clearly
      Look back, we'll dry the tears
      For those once held so nearly
      And we can fly from here (we can fly)
      And we can fly from here (we can fly)
      And we can fly from here (we can fly)
      And we can fly from here (we can fly)
      And we can fly from here
      On the understanding that we can fly
      [Instrumental]
      Everyday that you waste
      Is one more that you've lost
      On display
      That's a final point of no return
      Everyday that you waste
      Is one more that you've lost
      On display
      That's a final point of no return

    3. Fly From Here: Part II - Sad Night At The Airfield

      There are no ground staff in the empty corridors
      Is no one sleeping?
      No one awake?
      I'd start an engine in the night
      If only just to break the silence
      That last intake of...
      Air...
      The clouds in the night as we breed
      Too late for even the night breathes to me
      We can wait for dawn
      To carry on
      Then we can fly from here
      I want to be the one
      Who always gives you shelter
      Finds you waitin'
      Keep you warm
      I want to be the one
      Who's always there beside you
      But we both must
      Face the dawn...
      Alone...
      So cruel like the world that we leave
      Too late for even the night breathes to me
      We can wait for dawn
      To carry on
      Then we can fly from here
      Only ghosts are in the empty corridors
      They're all strangers
      Never cared
      I know that from some other life
      When things were different
      And we both were in the end
      Turn yourself around (turn yourself around)
      Turn your life around (turn your life around)
      Turn your world around (turn your world around)
      Turn this ship around (turn this ship around)
      So turn your wheel around
      I watch the sky
      All defenses down
      I watch the sky
      I watch the sky

    4. Fly From Here: Part III - Madman At The Screens

      Take a table
      In the evening
      By the waterside
      Lonely eyes watch
      As the moon shines
      Down a silver tine
      Looking out from this position
      Are things what they seem?
      It's been spreading out from
      One decision
      Into this bad dream
      Out on the shoreline (shoreline)
      Someone is waiting (waiting)
      Wind that was falling is rising again
      I hear the voices (voices)
      I hear them calling (calling)
      Every song was singing in the rain
      Sailor, sailor beware
      There are storm clouds
      You must take care
      Easy bring her around
      Or the night will
      Run you aground
      I know...
      In the ceiling
      Over our heads
      Fans and moving air
      Spinning out the
      Hours of darkness
      Warning sound somewhere
      Out on the shoreline (shoreline)
      Someone is waiting (waiting)
      The wind that was falling is rising again
      I hear the voices (voices)
      I hear them calling (calling)
      Every song was singing in the rain
      Sailor, sailor beware
      There are storm clouds
      You must take care
      Easy bring her around
      Or the night will
      Run you aground
      Morning
      Here in the air
      When you feel it
      Know that you're there
      Laying dark
      Behind the scenes a
      Madman at the screens
      Laying dark
      Behind the scenes a
      Madman at the screens
      Laying dark
      Behind the scenes a
      Madman at the screens
      Dreaming...
      Feeling the air...
      Dreaming...
      Seeing you there ...

    5. Fly From Here: Part IV - Bumpy Ride

      Dreaming
      Seeing you there
      See you sometime somewhere

    6. Fly From Here: Part V - We Can Fly (Reprise)

      We can fly (we can fly)
      We can fly (we can fly)
      And we can fly from here
      Into the sky that's clearing
      Look back we'll dry the tears
      For those once held so nearly
      And we can fly from here (we can fly)
      And we can fly from here (we can fly)
      And we can fly from here (we can fly)
      And we can fly from here (we can fly)
      And we can fly from here
      On the understanding that we can fly

    7. The Man You Always Wanted Me To Be

      What have I become?
      What am I runnin' away from?
      I used to see
      Things in a very different way
      What am I to do?
      I have changed my point of view
      I was lost
      Now I've found myself in you
      From some other part of me
      I'll summon the strength to see me through
      From deep in the heart of me
      To be anything you want me to
      And that's when I start to be
      The man you've always seen in me
      The man you always wanted me to be
      What have we become?
      What are we running away from?
      We need to see
      Life in a very different way
      Learning what to do
      After all that we've been through
      No longer lost
      We have found ourselves anew
      From some other part of me
      I'll summon the strength to see me through
      From deep in the heart of me
      To be anything you want me to
      And that's when I start to be
      The man you've always seen in me
      The man you always wanted me to be
      Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah
      Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah
      Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah
      The man you always wanted me to be
      The man you always wanted me to be
      Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah
      Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah
      Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah

    8. Life On A Film Set

      All the poems of my neighbors
      That drift across the sand
      Are just the tindrels of a vast
      But gentle plan which they command
      The headdress of a goddess
      You wore the night we came
      Is only one small symptom
      And really not to blame
      You're riding a tiger
      Riding a tiger
      Heaven sent immortals
      Waged upon the wall
      And likewise all the missiles
      Shot to make them fall
      Everlasting movie
      Picture into frame
      Riding a tiger
      Riding a tiger
      Riding a tiger
      All of the beaches
      Into the sky
      Into the beach of sunglass goodbye
      Key grip was crying
      This boy was made
      Here in the shelter
      Whole unafraid
      We were there
      Follow the road that leads to the sun
      Who formed our leader he is the one
      Who will offer the silence
      You must beware
      Using the page that no one can share
      Riding a tiger
      Riding a tiger
      Riding a tiger
      Riding a tiger
      Out of the morning
      Into the day
      Onto the evening
      Nowhere to stay
      We were always together
      Always the same
      Into the future
      No one to blame
      Riding a tiger
      Riding a tiger
      Riding a tiger
      Riding a tiger
      Riding a tiger
      Riding a tiger

    9. Hour Of Need

      In the dark while the obvious isn't clear
      Can't believe just what can interfere
      Remember what has been achieved
      Keep tryin' it's the hour of need
      What's the cost?
      Can the end justify the means?
      There's a need so many mouths to feed
      Remember what has been achieved
      Keep tryin' it's the hour of need
      Still hoping we can succeed
      In this hour of need
      Words unwritten
      Mistrust suspicion
      Stuck in this wilderness
      For everyone water to drink
      Either we sink or swim

    11. Into The Storm

      Something not so superficial
      Like something I can really do without
      Need a hand to hold onto
      Help me understand
      What's the point of reparation now?
      You've just got to make that beat somehow
      Into the storm
      All the stories you've been telling
      You must know someday they'll find you out
      Through this life you've been propelling
      Now you're spinning out
      Time to make your reparations now
      You've just got to make that leap somehow
      Come on and make it now
      Into the storm
      Armies of angels are starting to fall
      Bathed in the light at the break of the dawn
      Armies of angels are leading me on
      Take me away from the heart of the storm
      Take me away
      Take me away
      One thing learned from all these years
      As stupid now as we were at first
      Maybe that's the way it goes
      When you try to change the world
      Sending pointless invitations out
      You always knew what this was all about
      Somewhere a fire is breaking out
      Into the storm
      Armies of angels are starting to fall
      Bathed in the light at the break of the dawn
      Armies of angels are leading me on
      Take me away from the heart of the storm
      Take me away
      Take me away
      And we can fly from here
      And we can fly from here
      And we can fly from here
      And we can fly from here

    12. Hour Of Need (Full-Length Version)

      In the dark while the obvious isn't clear
      Can't believe just what can interfere
      Remember what has been achieved
      Keep tryin' it's the hour of need
      What's the cost?
      Can the end justify the means?
      There's a need so many mouths to feed
      Remember what has been achieved
      Keep tryin' it's the hour of need
      Still hoping we can succeed
      In this hour of need
      Words unwritten
      Mistrust suspicion
