Wheels Up

from A Man Possessed by Nathan Seeckts

lyrics

Flying out across the water looking out across the sea
There ain’t no one in my row of seats or right in front of me
But there’s a tightness in my chest
I shut my eyes and try to rest and get some sleep

I left everything behind me, I packed up and headed west
I got a some work up in Kalgoorlie, where they put me to the test
I only lasted 90 days
And I drank away my pay like all the rest

Will this old hunk of metal take me home
Or on into the sunset and unknown
Or am I cursed to always fly alone

I’ve always been a traveller, driven on by wanderlust
And a deeply rooted fear of who to love and who to trust
I go by many different names
And the blood within my veins is desert dust

I heard that if you keep on moving you won’t gather any moss
But what they failed to mention is the underlying cost
Of moving on from place to place
The disappointment in the face of those you’ve lost
