Looking For a Place to Land - Justin Townes Earle

I been circling

The side of my hands

Reserves are running low and

I’m looking for a place to land

‘Cause far too young I learned to fly

So I should know now as a man

How to come back down now

I’m looking for a place to land now

I’ve crossed oceans

Fought freezing rain and blowing sand

I’ve crossed lines and roads and wondering rivers

Just looking for a place to land

Now I’ve climbed the heights most weren’t meant to understand now

I’m flying low

And I’m looking for a place to land

‘Cause these once proud engines

They choke up now and then

Now, now I’m starting to lose my faith

But still looking for a place to land

So tower, tower please come in

Where will my engines give out?

When?

How long ago

Did I start my decent?

And if I put down here

Will I ever fly again?

And a voice said seeker come back

Lonely seeker come in

If we can just take it slow

I know I can bring you in

And I touched down and couldn’t find my feet

But you held me up till I could stand

Now I never fly alone

I’ve got a place to land
