JONI MITCHELL - THIS FLIGHT TONIGHT lyrics

rate me

Look out the left the captain said

The lights down there, that's where we'll land

I saw a falling star burn up

Above the Las Vegas sands

It wasn't the one that you gave to me

That night down south between the trailers

Not the early one

That you can wish upon;

Not the northern one

That guides in the sailors

Oh starbright, starbright

You've got the lovin' that I like, all right

Turn this crazy bird around

I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

You got the touch so gentle and sweet

But you've got that look so critical

Now I can't talk to you baby

I get so weak

Sometimes I think love is just mythical

Up there's a heaven

Down there's a town

Blackness everywhere and little lights shine

Oh, blackness, blackness dragging me down

Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine

Oh starbright, starbright

You've got the lovin' that I like, all right

Turn this crazy bird around

I shouldn't hove got on this flight tonight

I'm drinking sweet champagne

Got the headphones up high

Can't numb you out

Can't drum you out of my mind

They're playing "Goodbye baby, Baby Goodbye,

Ooh, ooh, love is blind"

Up go the flaps, down go the wheels

I hope you got your heat turned on baby

I hope they finally fixed your automobile

I hope it's better when we meet again baby

Starbright, starbright

You got the lovin' that I like, all right

Turn this crazy bird around

I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
