Art Garfunkel - Skywriter

recorded live at royal albert hall 22 april 1988

I 'm tired of tracing vapor trail,
Ghost letters in the sky

Living life in daydreams,
Watching precious time get by

Circle around this great big world,
Just chasing smoke,
And never touching ground



Like a skywriter,
Rebel without a cause,
Drifting without an aim

But I can't seem to give up this flying game


I'm a wing walker,
Working without a net,

That's all I've ever been

And I wonder if I'm ever coming down again



Some people say
I'm losing touch with harsh reality

Because I can't accept
The way it is with you and me

Stop living in the past,
Like some old pilot from a war
That wouldn't end



Like a barnstormer,
Safe with my heart and wings

How could I ever fall

So serenely do I glide above it all



I'm a skywriter,
I can't forget you yet

For whatever that it's worth

And sometimes I think
I'm never coming back



Skywriter,
I can't forget you yet

For whatever that it's worth

And sometimes I think
I'm never coming back to earth.
