Another Plane Went Down

Shawn Colvin/ John Leventhal 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
