Gretchen Peters - The Aviator's Song lyrics

You fell out of the sky when you were 21 Your bomber took a bullet from a German gun Did you think about your wife, your brief And tender life, did you pray to anyone? How does it feel when you're falling? Can you hear sweet angels calling? Is it empty up in space? Did you touch God's holy face? Did you tremble, did you cry? Did you fall or did you fly? You fell out of your life when you were 43 You saw her and you thought she was your destiny You wandered from the path and we cursed Your aftermath but that's ancient history How does it feel when you're falling? Can you hear sweet angels calling? Is it empty up in space? Did you touch God's holy face? Did you tremble, did you cry? Did you fall or did you fly? You make it so damn hard to love you I don't know why I even try And all I ever wanted of you To take me with you when you fly You fell out of my life one last time today I held your hand and watched you as you slipped away You cast your pilot's eye to the endless open sky And I sent you on your way How does it feel when you're falling? Can you hear sweet angels calling? Is it empty up in space? Did you touch God's holy face? Did you tremble, did you cry? Did you fall or did you fly?
