watching the planes land over the bay
I wish they could hang in the air forever
holding the patterns for days
I hope they (hope they hope they)
will be delayed forever
standing alone at the gate
she`s late
she`s miles above somewhere, hovering
why won`t you write?
write me a word to say
tell me you miss my ways
tell me you miss my face
I never meant clip your pretty wings
oh your pretty, oh your pretty wings
you always knew it,
you saw right through it,
why`d you have to go?
standing still at the gate
and I ache (I ache I ache)
my palms are not lace rising
the wheels drop and she starts to descend
and the runway will light her way
she starts hovering
and when she lands
I race for the crashing ground
the oxygen from the mask
that only words mark the past
I never meant clip your pretty wings
oh your pretty, oh your pretty wings
we`ll be all right
we`ll be all right
we`ll be all right
we`ll be all right
you always knew it,
you saw right through it,
why`d you have to?
