The Extraordinaires - A Letter Home lyrics

Dearest father I, daughter of the sky, I beg for your advice I'm being held a prisoner by the one and only love of my life Can't you see that I am helpless to decide Dearest father I, the victim of surprise, I fell into his eyes Once I free my plane, I'll be free to fly away and out of sight But life without my love would be to die Dearest father I, simply must deny, a battle brews tonight As a captive I must fight, but to fight would mean that one would not survive But life without my love would be to die Dearest father I, simply must deny, a battle brews tonight As a captive I must fight, but to fight would mean that one would not survive But if I must I'll tie these ribbons extra tight Dear Sophila, please deliver this urgent plea Bear the scroll I'm tying at your feet Take this note and head for sunrise until you're home Bricks and mortar covered in the snow Take this note and fly away - don't hesitate tonight Make one sound and you'll be found and shot down in mid-flight One last kiss we both share, ribbons of war in my hair One last goodbye we both share, ribbons of war in my hair Father, I love you, but this is goodbye - without each other we cannot survive Goodbye
