Sherwood - This Airplane Is A Ribbon lyrics

rate me

This airplane is a ribbon

With a bird at either end

And it's featherlight and floating in the wind

And it seems there's no direction

Gentle push from gentle hands

And I have no way of knowing where I'll land

And I'll take that long drive down

To spend two months in your town

But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around

And I've seen a drunken poet

Spilling verses on the bar

I wish I remembered them so beautiful and so dark

And I watched that moment flicker

As they vanished in the air

Right in front of me but he didn't seem to care

And I'll take that long drive down

To spend two months in your town

But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around

If you're anything like me

Then you'll pack your bags and leave

Cause you know that you'll be going eventually

And don't say it isn't bad enough

That I'm the only one that cares about this stuff

Cause we both know that I won't go without you

And don't say it wasn't good enough

Cause these lonely couple years have been too rough

And we both know that I won't go without you

And I'll take that long drive down

To spend two months in your town

But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around

If you're anything like me

Then you'll pack your bags and leave

Cause you know that you'll be going eventually

Cause you know that you'll be going eventually
