The Days Blur into One

On OurStage

In the closing moments of the sky-bound life
When all the years and days have wound into a final streak of light
That arches through the storm
A spot of life that explodes
From the moment it was born
Pathways carved in a heart
That only wings could sing
And only love could tear apart

We live fragile lives worn smooth by worry and love
Simplify the ranges round and down till darkness comes
And the darkness came today
Like another force had taken the play
And as I lose control it occurs to me
That the last thing I may ever see

Is stardust scattered like your hair across the sky
The engines hum, warm as your touch, but not as bright
And the voice of terror howls
And wings begin to scream
Tearing loose at the seam
And though I always knew I could lose you this way
I only wanted just to see you one last time
To say goodbye

And the thunder of youth brought my soul to the sky
And only your love can bring me back from each restless flight
And above the clouds the world is so bright
There is no darkness, just the memory of the sight of you
A solitary traveler in the sky’s stormy birth
Whose world is a plane spiralling to earth
The aviator contemplates one last glorious truth—
That the love is worth the loss—in the final moments

This song has great piano, a fun melody, and thoughtful lyrics. Love it.
