Aeroplane Head Woman - Pete Brown & Piblokto!

She stands on the clifftop with tears in her eyes

She longs for the moon to wash flames from the skies

She doesn’t look for the thrill of a kill

There was only one, he came from the Sun

Pilot of her dreams rides her searchlight beams

She sits in the city with wings on her mind

She waits for the birdman who left her behind

He had to fly almost straight into hate

There is only one though the race is run

Pilot of her love feels him far above

She waits at the airport with hope in her heart

She listens for Spitfires' engines to start

She hopes that he’s near though it’s been 30 years

She’s got a photograph taken for a laugh

All the boys in blue hope their aim was true
