==Lyrics==<br />
The take-off makes no sound<br><br />
It's high and far away<br><br />
Your blue sky by the moon<br><br />
It takes my breath away<br />
<br />
Why do you choose<br><br />
What you choose to throw away into the undertow<br><br />
A happiness like we'll never know<br />
<br />
You can overcome your bitterness and pain<br><br />
And you don't remember how<br><br />
To start your life again<br />
<br />
You were born to please<br><br />
Born to put on a show<br><br />
But you always run away<br><br />
From a happiness like we'll never know<br />
<br />
No hiding place in all the sky<br><br />
No camouflage to keep you warm at night<br><br />
No clothes you got seem to keep out the wind or the rain<br><br />
No way out from your shame<br />
<br />
The take-off makes no sound<br><br />
As you fly away with that look on your face<br><br />
That gives it all away<br />
<br />
Secrets that the sea would never tell the sun<br><br />
About where the current flows<br><br />
A happiness like we'll never know<br />
