Small Plane Lyrics - Bill Callahan

You used to take me up 

I watched and learned 

How to fly 

No navigation system 

Beyond our eyes 

Watching 

I always went wrong in the same place 

Where the river splits towards the sea 

That couldn't possibly be 

You and me 

Sometimes you sleep while I take us home 

That's when I know 

We really have a home 

I never like to land 

Getting back up seems impossibly grand 

We do it with ease 

Danger, I never think of danger 

I really am a lucky man 

Flying this small plane 

I like it when I take the controls from you 

And when you take the controls from me 

I really am a lucky man 

Flying this small plane 

Eyes scan the path ahead 

And all around
