Well you were high when I met you, now you've fallen like a leaf from a tree.
(Water rains into the sea.) And every time the world goes round,
you're getting closer to the ground.
Air traffic control, I've been gone, I've been up,
away from home, now my gear is down, I'm circling round and I am coming in.
Running out of oxygen and my fuel is running low.
Runway lights, where do I go? I'm looking down.
But they don't show.
Well you were high when I met you, now you're coming in on my frequency.
(I can't hear you, can you see me?) You're cutting in.
I'm breaking up, you're too low, try pulling up.
Air traffic control. (Hold on, I'm coming in.)
