Fear of Flying

[Verse 1] My dear, I fear a fear of flying I noticed it when I was shying away I have a phobia of phobias And I confess I'm like a starling I float above it always ignoring the ground And the birds around me [Chorus] And when that fear overcomes I can't help to feel numb And I know that the sun is fighting through somewhere But I, well, never touch it [Verse 2] Once, I was a lot more lonely I was terrified of having company But I learnt to leave the door open And now when I look all around me I am overwhelmed that you found me And how many friends I have now! [Chorus] And when that fear overcomes I can't help to feel numb And I know that the sun is fighting through somewhere But I, well, never touch it [Chorus] And when that fear overcomes I can't help to feel numb And I know that the sun is fighting through somewhere But I, well, never touch it [Verse 3] I prefer the spring to autumn The best days are when I'm in my garden And the earth feels safe around my fingers But my dear, I fear a fear of flying Though when you're near, it is dying away Even all those phobias [Outro] And if you hold my hand, then I'll be fine I'll pretend that we're not even in the sky And say goodbye to my fear of flying
