Land in the Water - Eleanor McEvoy

A man goes up

Another comes down

First guy I mentioned

Nowhere to be found

The first thing they teach you

When you reach for the sky

You leave earth behind you

For some other guy

Some other guy

Some other guy

Some other guy

If we land in the water

Put your faith in me

Some die with dirt in their mouths

And some, a taste of the sea

When you walk to the runway

They take down your name

When you come in for landing

It won’t be the same

It’s the laws of physics

In this crazy old town

Where one man goes up

Another comes down

Another comes down

Another comes down

Another comes down
