LONG WAY FROM KITTY HAWK

Words & music by Joseph M Lobosco c 2001

V
Brother...look what they've done,
Brother...they're on the run

Sunken...broken n' torn,
Hunted...in this sinister storm

C
But, we didn't know it,
We only wanted ta fly

We didn't know that such anger could come of the sky

V
Brother...what have we done ?
Brother...it's all comin' undone

Fallen...flattened and scorned,
Such hatred...from where is that borne ?

C
Well, we didn't know it,
'çause we only wanted ta fly

No one could notice the angry stain in their eyes

And we can't control it,
their vicious, their criminal lies,

No, we didn't know it,
no, we only wanted ta fly

V
Brother...we've done some good, haven't we ?
Wilbur...we're still good, won't they see ?

Brother... I'm shamen' so slow,
Yes, I feel it...that long heavy blow

C
But we didn't know it,no,
We only wanted ta fly

And we'd never know it,
No one could dream of such cries

And we shouldn't show this,
no, we shouldn't shoulder their sighs

Çause we didn't know it,
yeah, we only wanted ta fly

BRIDGE
So fly...lets'just fly away,
Fly...let's go back to our day

Fly, where there's no one can say,
Let's fly, back to Kitty today

Let's fly, to forget this dark day


C
Yeah, we didn't know it,
'çause we only wanted ta fly

We didn't blow it Orv,
our only sin was ta try

And we don't owe nothin', to no-one,
nowhere should we hide

'çause we didn't know it,
We only wanted ta fly

We only wanted to, wanted to,
wanted ta fly...



V
Brother...will they blame you n' me ?
Orville...was no way we could see ?

They're so tattered...and so uninformed,
Hereafter...a tall space, a burnt form

Brother...please say it ain't so,
Brother...I just need ta know

C
Well, we didn't know it,
'çause we only wanted ta fly

You-n'-me never notice the darker, deep side of life

And I wish you didn't show me,
I'd rather not see such a flight

Now we can't unknow it,
We'll think of it each time we fly
