Allen,

Can I get away with Skylark....."Won't you fly away and find these things"?

Larry

[lorenzotedesco]

How about "Just One of Those Things"? "A trip to the moon on gossamer wings". What's a gossamer?

Larry

[lorenzotedesco]

Re the walking theme of this thread I was surprised by the number of songs that turned up. There once was a lot of people walking around after midnight. I like the flight theme too and have to give it some thought.
