Shawn Colvin - Another Plane Went Down lyrics

rate me

Another plane went down today in the

Atlantic nine miles off shore

And every single black car that goes by just might be yours

I haven't moved from this spot I sit her watching TV in bed

I wanna see if the crash was sabotage

I wanna know if everyone is dead

I remember when I was fifteen me and Liz would ride around

We liked to smoke in the car in the winter with all the windows rolled down

I had a dream a plane exploded over my lake one afternoon

I still remember the feeling when I woke up

I can't describe the magnitude

SO MANY OTHER DREAMS

The one I had today

You and the Italian woman naked

Your fingers between her legs

She lay like a body in the water

She barely made a sound

She fell as quiet, as quiet, as a leaf falling

To the ground

Meanwhile back on earth I told you to fuck off and go away

I've gotta call my friend who moved from New York to LA

Five days before Christmas last year his girlfriend died in a plane crash

He says the way that it happen is your heart

Is so heavy it rips away upon impact

And then you just bleed inside

You don't even feel a thing

They found her on a hill in Columbia

Intact among the debris

So many other dreams

The ones where I'm on death row

The ones where I don't know why

The ones where my parents drove

I wish I was with you now

Down at the Sixth Street bar

Laughing at the singer

Smoking in the car
