Fear of Flying Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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!

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
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
