Woke up on top of the wing and I felt the sun on my chest as I drifted along waiting for a ship to come
It felt like days since the impact but I could still see where the engines were
When the plane hit the water
I swam towards the sky until I broke the plane
Among the red of the wreckage
I fought through the waves until I felt land
But it's been years since that day
And I've made some slow but sure progress
Darling, I'm coming home to you someday
I can't say when but I'm on my way
In my head I can still see our house with the deck and the shed on the left
the home where we raised our kids
God I hope you'll still be there
