Rubettes, The - New York Tower Lyrics






Fly me away, on a day like today
Spirits are high and love is free

New York tower this is Gulf - Alfa - Kilo
Victor - one, how do you read
New York tower am I cleared to make a flight into the sun
On the summer breeze
And though I've heard those engines roar
Over and over before

Oh, the sound is sweet to me as a baby on my knee
New York tower please confirm my flight
Departure time - nine zero three
I've opened up power and it won't be
Long before I've made the line
I'm waiting to see precipitation keep it's word
Blue skies preferred
Sun beating down warming the air taking me there

Fly me away, on a day like today
Spirits are high and love is free
Take me home I've been away too long
Silver bird, please carry me

New York tower I'm holding here
Don't make me wait too long, depending on you
Could you talk a bit louder
I'm reading you four, your transmission ain't too strong
You gotta come through
'Cause when I'm rolling down the track
There ain't no turning back
Climbing away feeling like a bird
Who's answering the word

Fly me away, on a day like today
Spirits are high and love is free
Take me home I've been away too long
Silver bird, please carry me

Fly me away, on a day like today
Spirits are high and love is free
Take me home I've been away too long
Silver bird, please carry me

    I spent my early adult years roaming around the country. I was a country girl from Kentucky and i ran off to Georgia and California chasing my dreams. I returned home in my 40s. this song really stirs up a lot of emotion an sparks a lot of memories
