I wish I were a ship that spreads its wings
And flies away on a deep blue sea
I wish I were a golden eagle
Soaring far, far above the Rockies
But I guess I’ll have to stay awhile longer
And see what I can do
About this situation
I’ve been put through
And if it weren’t for you I think
All my time would be spent crying, dying
Here you’ve stayed while all the others
Went flying, flying away
Your eyes are my deep blue sea
And you’re smile is my wings to fly
And you’re loving
Is my ticket to the sky
