Intro:  D  G  D  G (2x) 
 
                  D 
    1. With your photographs of Kitty Hawk 
                A 
       And the bi-planes on your wall 
                 Am 
       You were always Amy Johnson 
                 G 
       From the time that you were small 
           D 
       No schoolroom kept you grounded 
                   A 
       While your thoughts could get away 
                 Am 
       You were taking off in Tiger Moths 
             G                 Em                   A 
       Your wings against the brush-strokes of the day 
 
                D 
 Ref.: Are you there ? 
               G               A              D 
       On the tarmac with the winter in your hair 
               G            A                  Bm 
       By the empty hangar doors you stop and stare 
                  Bm                              Em 
       Leave the oil-drums behind you, they won't care 
        A           D        D  C  G   D  C  G   D  C  G   
       Oh, are you there ? 
        
 
    2. You wrapped me up in a leather coat 
       And you took me for a ride 
       We were drifting with the tail-wind 
       When the runway came in sight 
       The clouds came up to gather us 
       And the cockpit turned to white 
       When I looked the sky was empty 
       I suppose you never saw the landing-lights 
        
 
       Are you there ? 
       In your jacket with the grease-stain and the tear 
       Caught up in the slipstream of the dare 
       The compass roads will guide you anywhere 
       Oh, are you there ? 
        
 
    3. The sun comes up on Icarus 
       As the night-birds sail away 
       And lights the maps and diagrams 
       That Leonardo makes 
       You can see Faith, Hope and Charity 
       As they bank above the fields 
       You can join the flying circus 
       You can touch the morning air against your wheels 
        
 
 Ref.: Are you there ? 
       Do you have a thought for me that you can share 
       I never thought you'd take me unawares 
       Just call me if you ever need repairs 
       Oh, are you there ?
