  • For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world
    Didn't anybody know, didn't anyone suppose
    That my life up here was slowly drifting by
    And all I've got to do is sit and cry
    The Earth is so clear and it's simply a reach away
    I just had to laugh today but the news it seemed to say
    That my life once full was surely running dry
    I prayed a while but then I had to cry

    Look in my eyes I know
    That man is surely just a man
    It's no surprise I know
    The road is far too long
    And life too short to carry on

    For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world
    Here in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhyme
    Dangles aimlessly, time drips slowly by
    And all I've got to do is sit and cry

    Look in my eyes I know
    That man is surely just a man
    It's no surprise I know
    The road is far too long
    And life too short to carry on Writer/s: Les Holroyd, Mel Pritchard
