Another Plane Went Down Lyrics - 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 havent 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 

And 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 a lake one afternoon 

I still remember the feeling when I woke up 

I cant 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 

Ive gotta call my friend 

Who moved from New York to L.A. 

Five days before Christmas last year 

His girlfriend died in a plane crash 

And 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 dont even feel a thing 

They found her on a hill in Columbia 

Intact among the debris 

So many other dreams 

The ones where Im on death row 

The ones where I dont know why 

The ones where my parents drove 

Oh, I wish I was with you now 

Down at the Sixth Street bar 

Laughing at the singer 

Smoking in the car
