Fear of Flying

My dear, I fear a fear of flying
I noticed it when I was shying away
I have a phobia of phobias

And I confess I'm like a starling
I float above it always ignoring the ground
And the birds around me

And when that fear overcomes
I can't help to feel numb
And I know that the sun is fighting through somewhere
But I, well, never touch it

Once, I was a lot more lonely
I was terrified of having company
But I learnt to leave the door open

And now when I look all around me
I am overwhelmed that you found me
And how many friends I have now!

And when that fear overcomes
I can't help to feel numb
And I know that the sun is fighting through somewhere
But I, well, never touch it
And when that fear overcomes
I can't help to feel numb
And I know that the sun is fighting through somewhere
But I, well, never touch it

I prefer the spring to autumn
The best days are when I'm in my garden
And the earth feels safe around my fingers

But my dear, I fear a fear of flying
Though when you're near, it is dying away
Even all those phobias

And if you hold my hand, then I'll be fine
I'll pretend that we're not even in the sky
And say goodbye to my fear of flying
