Intro
Verse 1
He Was The Boy Who Wanted To Soar
He’d Played Flying Video Games Before
He Pushed Baggage From Dusk Till Dawn
With A Quiet Smile And A High-Viz On
He Watched The Planes Rise Through The Air
And Wonder What It’s Like To Be Up There
Verse 2
He Took That Dash-8 Out From The Gate
He Had No Plan, Just Felt It Was Fate
Controllers Calling, Hearts Full Of Hope
He Said, Don’t Worry, I Won’t Hurt No Folks
He Barrel-Rolled Over The Puget Sound
Lost But Somehow Finally Found
Chorus
Beebo, Flying Through The Fading Light
Silver Wings On The Edge Of Night
With The Radio On And A Trembling Hand
He Said, I’m Just A Broken Man
Up There, Where The Wild Winds Sing
Forever, You’ll Be The Sky King
Verse 3
He Said, Tell My Friends I’m Sorry, Please
I Didn’t Mean To Make Them Grieve
The Olympic Mountains His Final Flight
When Rich Nose-Dived And Called It A Night
Then His Fire Lit Up The Sound
As All His Dreams Went Crashing Down
Chorus
Beebo, Flying Through The Fading Light
Silver Wings On The Edge Of Night
With The Radio On And A Trembling Hand
He Said, I’m Just A Broken Man
Up There, Where The Wild Winds Sing
Forever, You’ll Be The Sky King
Bridge
There’s A Whisper In The Tower Some Nights
Of A Voice That Fades In Static White
Tell Them All I Had A Plan
He Just Never Planned To Land
Chorus
Beebo, Flying Through The Fading Light
Silver Wings On The Edge Of Night
With The Radio On And A Trembling Hand
He Said, I’m Just A Broken Man
Up There, Where The Wild Winds Sing
Forever, You’ll Be The Sky King
Outro
He Left His Wife And Newborn Behind
No One Knew What Was Going On In His Mind
Now Somewhere High, Beyond The Pain
Beebo’s Flying Free Again
