A fireball is lost in the ocean The sun went down again The twilight drowned again And it's been Three days three nights in search of the morning Steady as she goes my friend It's a lonely road my friend You took one step and the wind shouted in your ear You're never gonna fly, she said Persistence is your crime, she said She said The you sped away but she soon followed after you For the hundredth time she said You're never gonna fly She said White lines rush out like bullets from the highway You're driving way too fast my friend Slow down my friend Slow down A fireball disappeared in the ocean We lost the light again Made our peace with the night again And then We hurt our fragile eyes dreaming underwater Tonight you're on your own my friend You must go alone my friend You took one step and the wind shouted in your ear You're never gonna fly, she said You've been sold a lie, she said She said The you sped away but she soon rushed to follow you For the hundredth time, she said You're never gonna fly She said White lines rush out like bullets from the highway You're driving way too fast my friend Slow down my friend Slow down Slow down Don't worry I'll be fine Slow down These wings were meant to fly The fireball lost in the ocean You're sinking way too fast my friend Slow down my friend
