Shawn Colvin lyrics : "Another Plane Went Down"

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 here
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 that 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
$#&@ 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 happens 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 Colombia
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 a Sixth Street bar
Laughing at the singer
Smoking in the car
