Your eyes were shimmering, amelia
And i mistook it for love
When you asked me to go
As your celestial navigator
We would round the earth together
I would work the radio
Oh but amelia all those miles were just a sum
You were living on a runway, what were you running from?
Oh but i loved you open-hearted
And i held you hand at night
High above the pacific sea
Still it was like you were flying solo
And i was merely standing by
On your flights of fancy
Never looked back til we were running out of fuel
We were running out of land, i was running out of you
Oh amelia, dont i feel like a clown
Oh you went down in history
Well, me, i just went down
Sweet amelia, you will never be found
Didnt even know your own heart
Hey but it don't matter now
Your sustenance was fame
Always starving for a thrill
Not afraid of a thing
Couldn't you've wished upon a rainbow
Just like everybody else?
But you had to wish on lightning
Oh and i was just a p*** in your adventure
I was just a casualty of your madness
Oh amelia, dont i feel like a clown
Oh you went down in history
Well, me, i just went down
Sweet amelia, you will never be found
Didnt even know your own heart
Hey but it don't matter now
The more i think about it now
Was only up above the clouds
That our love was ever real
And as the mist grew thicker
At the static's eery silence
My heart stood still
Oh and the last thing that you said was you were sorry
I did it for love, you did it for glory
Oh amelia, dont i feel like a clown
Oh you went down in history
Well, me, i just went down
Sweet amelia, you will never be found
Didnt even know your own heart
Hey but it don't matter now
And i mistook it for love
When you asked me to go
