lyrics

Oh Plane

Oh Plane
Rest your wings
against the night

Close your eyes and sleep
like the albatross
on its trans-pacific glide

Oh Plane
Rest your wings
against the night

You shall rise again to rest

Oh Plane
Rest your wings
against the night

Close your eyes
Close your eyes

May the sky abide your hollow bones,
May the sea repeat your cry

Oh Plane
Rest your wings
against the night

Do you dream of men in suits
aligned in aisles
reclined in rows?

And do you dream of runway lights
the stars awakening eyes?
Close your eyes
and sleep

like the albatross
on its trans-pacific glide

Oh Plane
Rest your wings.
