Verse:

What does a Flyer think of when he's up there in the sky?
Ask any Army pilot and he'll answer with a sigh.

 

Chorus:

While I'm there in the air with my head in the clouds,
I think of someone I love.

And I know down below she is thinking of me,
While I am up there above.

When the night is clear and the bombardier,
Drops a bomb that's wired for sound,

How I yearn to return with my head in the clouds,
To the one I love on the ground.
