A Year On An Airplane Lyrics

A Year On An Airplane lyrics

We flew over the Cascades

We were forced to behave while we sat

Rows are turning

I crossed some standard state lines

I finally found myself so far away from home

Even though New England tree dust goes through us

Are bones are cold as stick and stones



We flew over the Cascades

Just to find ourselves in storms we've never known

The winds are like a beast with wings and yes

Everything was blown so far away

And I fell down, I fell to call its name



Even after hours of waiting

There was no telling when the storm would find its way

Lands we tried to memorize

Were no longer acting temperatures of red

Through the night the storm held me down

Bend my neck and said "it'd be ok"

I stared into the fury

And the beauty of its overwhelming strength



The winds are like a beast with wings and yes

Everything was blown so far away

And I fell down, I fell to call its name



I saw a dim light in the mouth of the beast

So I followed it in

It's too late to retreat

It swallowed me whole

My flesh turned into meat

And I can't look back now

Cause the beast has come clean



We flew over the Cascades

We were forced to behave
