Track Insight / Lyrics
Salt on my fingers, lamp burns slow
Beam cuts the night where gulls once flew
Desert wind carries a paper glow
Small wings humming, steady and true
Paper wings on desert air
Humming low, a secret prayer
Highway hum and airplane song
Carry us where we belong
I folded corners, sharp and neat
Launched from the overpass, quiet street
Asphalt ribs hum beneath my feet
Sky drinks the sound, vast and sweet
Paper wings on desert air
Humming low, a secret prayer
Highway hum and airplane song
Carry us where we belong
Tide charts gather dust on wooden shelf
Foghorn silent, keeping watch myself
Now a crease of white cuts through the heat
Rhythm found in a fragile beat
Paper wings on desert air
Humming low, a secret prayer
Highway hum and airplane song
Carry us where we belong
Cactus shadows stretch, long and thin
Plane rides the thermals, starts to spin
Engine roar fades, a lullaby
Desert sings as clouds drift by
Paper wings on desert air
Humming low, a secret prayer
Highway hum and airplane song
Carry us where we belong
