Fighter Command

He waits for the word,
the hard edged word,
he is patient.
In reach of a phrase
and the end of all time.
Lines ran through the clouds
like rain on a cold breeze.
He was set free
he had learned to fly.
In search of a fix,
pull back on the stick.
He was alone,
lost in speed
lost to the water.
He was apart,
flying in a bird
built not to fall.
When you burn a million
thoughts a second,
what would be the last
thought on your mind?
Maybe of your daughter,
maybe of your girl.
Fallen down
we needed you to be around.
Lost and found,
we needed you…
I can’t unhappen you at all
can’t be with you
when you fall.
Lost and found
we needed you
to be around
Fallen down
I want you…
I can’t unhappen you at all
can’t be with you
when you fall.
can’t see the road
much further on.
