Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add:The Biplane 'Evermore' (Martin Cooper)
Subject: RE: Who wrote 'The Biplane, Evermore?'
Here you go. Picked this out of a thread from a while back.

Way out in London airport, in hangar number four
A lonely little biplane sat whose name was Evermore
His working days were over, and no more would he sail
Upon his wings, above the clouds, flying the Royal Mail.

Chorus: Bye, bye, bi-plane, once upon a sky plane Bye, bye, hush a bye, lullaby plane.

All the mighty jet planes would look down their nose
They'd laugh and say "Oh I'm so glad that I'm not one of those"
And Evermore would shake away a tear-drop from his wing
And dream of days when he again could do heroic things

(Chorus)

Then one day the fog and rain had closed the airport down,
And all the mighty jet planes were helpless on the ground
A call came to the airport, for a mercy flight
It would be too late they could not wait, someone must fly tonight.

So they rolled the little bi-plane onto runaway number 5
And though he looked so small and weak he knew he would survive
And as he rose into the fog the big jets hung their wings
And they hoped one day like Evermore to do heroic things

chrs:

And so me biddy bundle, I have spun a tail for you
You must learn there's nothing in this world you cant do
Do not be discouraged by circumstance and size
Remember Evermore, and set and set your sites up in the skies.

(Chorus)
