Cthe hills i'll go fleeting
Gjust give me one minute
to Ctell my wife good bye
Ami loved her so dearly
Cbut its time to take real flight
on a Amdark desert road
or a Cmiddle sized fake show you Glead me to

Gwell right away great captain

i'll go where you need me

the banks of the north shore

the hills i'll go fleeting

just give me one minute

to tell my wife good bye

i loved her so dearly

but its time to take real flight

on a dark desert road

or a middle sized fake show you lead me to

(its so dark in there)

well right away great captain

ill surely leave everything

god blessed i love it

but god you mean more to me

just know that i love you

for pearl gates of gold
