About Headlong Flight

According to the Headlong Flight Songfacts, the origins of the song lay in an Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee jam. A year later, they assembled the song from the jam. It was originally intended to be an instrumental with the title of 'Take That Lampshade Off Yo Head!', but some lyrics Neil Peart had written, matched the instrumental perfectly, so they fitted the two together and changed the title. .

Headlong Flight Lyrics

[00:54.23] All the journeys of this great adventure
[00:59.26] It didn't always feel that way
[01:04.66] I wouldn't trade them
[01:07.09] Because I made them
[01:09.82] The best I could, and that's enough to say
[01:15.38] Some days were dark
[01:20.98] I wish that I could live it all again
[01:25.06] Some nights were bright
[01:29.04]
[01:32.33] I wish that I could live it all again
[01:36.91]
[01:45.13] All the highlights of that headlong flight
[01:50.04] Holding on with all my might
[01:55.27] To what I felt back then
[02:01.65] I wish that I could live it all again
[02:07.16]
[02:19.80] I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
[02:25.18] Steered the airship right across the stars
[02:29.93] I learned to fight, I learned to love and learned to feel
[02:35.86] Oh, I wish that I could live it all again
[02:42.62]
[02:46.50] All the treasures, the gold and glory
[02:51.47] It didn't always feel that way
[02:56.78] I don't regret it
[02:59.21] I'll never forget it
[03:01.97] I wouldn't trade tomorrow for today
[03:06.89]
[03:09.20] Some days were dark
[03:13.85] I wish that I could live it all again
[03:19.04] Some nights were bright
[03:24.55] I wish that I could live it all again
[03:29.80]
[03:34.47] I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
[03:39.77] Steered the airship right across the stars
[03:44.64] I learned to fight, I learned to love and learned to feel
[03:50.37] Oh, I wish that I could live it all again
[03:57.02]
[04:23.57] (The days were dark
[04:24.98] And the nights were bright
[04:27.93] I would never trade tomorrow for today)
[04:33.48]
[05:47.93] All the highlights of that headlong flight
[05:52.68] Holding on with all my might
[05:57.96] Some days were dark
[06:04.52] I wish that I could live it all again
[06:10.47] Some nights were bright
[06:15.02] I wish that I could live it all again
[06:20.33]
[06:22.56] I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
[06:27.70] Steered the airship right across the stars
[06:32.67] I learned to fight, I learned to love and learned to feel
[06:38.13] Oh, I wish that I could live it all again
[06:44.06] I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
[06:48.96] Steered the airship right across the stars
[06:53.81] I learned to fight, I learned to love and learned to steal
[06:59.39] Oh, I wish that I could
[07:02.63] Oh, I wish that I could live it all again
[07:07.72]
