Ilse Delange - Flying Solo lyrics

'Cross the Bering strait

to a foreign land

I took to the sky just like I planned

Left my old life behind

there in the ice and snow

followed a rainbow to Mexico

Somewhere this side of lucky just shy of goin' down

there's a pilot with her wings on fire

and she doesn't even notice,

she got magic on her mind

'cause she's flyin' solo for the first time

Flying solo

like an angel in the night

flyin' solo

across the great devide

I've been down so low, now I'm up so high

there ain't nothin' short of dying

is gonna make me change my mind

flyin' solo, flyin' solo

Like a fallin' leaf

I fell down from your tree

chalk one up to prosperity

in search of warmer waters

I'm like a bird gone south

don't know just what I'll find

but I'm finding out

Now here I'm dancin' with the moon

spinning out of control

never be the same again

'cause there's a place under the horizon

where it hardly ever rains

the sun is always shining

freedom is it's name

Flying solo

like an angel in the night

flyin' solo

across the great devide

I've been down so low, now I'm up so high

there ain't nothin' short of dying

is gonna make me change my mind

flyin' solo, flyin' solo

Around the world that's where I'll be

Amelia Earheart's got nothin' on me

Flying solo

like an angel in the night

flyin' solo

across the great devide

I've been down so low, now I'm up so high

there ain't nothin' short of dying

is gonna make me change my mind

flyin' solo, flyin' solo
