Arabian Flight

Tonight, permission by the sultan of Muscat to fly over his land
She must fly along the edge of the Arabian peninsula
And hope to avoid a forced landing in forbidden territory

This step is the most difficult of our journey so far
It's marked by indistinguishable desert, it has no notable landmarks
And we are obliged to fly around certain regions
Where flying is forbidden

Approaching Aden
We'll try and push through to Gwadar
On we go

The lure of flying is the lure of beauty
The dramas of the clouds
The glory of the stars
The wonders of the waters and skies

Miles and miles of desert, mountain, sea
Desert, mountain, sea

Perhaps the greatest joy of flying is the magnificence of the view
The passenger seat gets to see the whole world

I want to seek out new sensations
Why do we return to those same ones over and over again?
We hold hands in the moonlight
Then spend the rest of our lives trying to repeat the moment

Everything looks good
Let's push through to Karachi

Desert, mountain, sea

I do love to fly
