[Instrumental] [Verse 1] He was a quiet soul working on the ground Termite dreams where the big planes are found A heart full of weight and a mind full of care Looking for freedom in the open air [Chorus] No wind so he sold but he knew the game Video dreams lit a spark of flame Hitched to the night, no clearance, no plan At parallels spun by a desperate hand The island called, one that treats to tore He chose his end in the twilight fall No anger, no fight, just a heart undone A fleeting flight before the race was run [Instrumental] [Chorus] Sky King wanted to fly so high Chasing stars in the stolen sky One last dance with the clouds anew A heartbroken man, what were you running to? Sky King's off to the tower below I'm sorry friends, I just had to go Virgin water is clean, the pond held still He carved his name on a distant hill Now the news sings songs and calls him free But his kin just mourn what they couldn't see A spark in the night then the planes were low Sky King's gone where the wild winds blow [Instrumental] [Chorus] Sky King wanted to fly so high Chasing stars in the stolen sky One last dance with the clouds anew A heartbroken man, what were you running to? Sky King Sky King Sky King [Instrumental]
