FLYING HOME, by                    
First Line: When you go flying, flying o'er the sea
Last Line: My joyous heart is flying back with you.
Subject(s): Flight; Home; Flying


When you go flying, flying o'er the sea
With wings outstretched, I watch you out of sight
And pray that swift and sure may be your flight.
Safe your return: that I shall live to see
That gladsome day for happy it will be,
At rosy dawn or soft descending night,
When storm clouds roll or at the noon day night,
When you come flying, flying home to me.

When you went flying, flying o'er the foam
With silver wings outstretched then lost to view
My lonely heart flew with you far to roam,
The sunrise lost its gold the sky its blue.
Now that your message to the world is "home,"
My joyous heart is flying back with you.
