another plane went down
Singer: shawn colvin
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
