This Airplane Is A Ribbon

This airplane is a ribbonWith a bird at either endAnd it's featherlight and floating in the windAnd it seems there's no directionGentle push from gentle handsAnd I have no way of knowing where I'll landAnd I'll take that long drive downTo spend two months in your townBut I'm scared to death that I won't see you aroundAnd I've seen a drunken poetSpilling verses on the barI wish I remembered them so beautiful and so darkAnd I watched that moment flickerAs they vanished in the airRight in front of me but he didn't seem to careAnd I'll take that long drive downTo spend two months in your townBut I'm scared to death that I won't see you aroundIf you're anything like meThen you'll pack your bags and leaveCause you know that you'll be going eventuallyAnd don't say it isn't bad enoughThat I'm the only one that cares about this stuffCause we both know that I won't go without youAnd don't say it wasn't good enoughCause these lonely couple years have been too roughAnd we both know that I won't go without youAnd I'll take that long drive downTo spend two months in your townBut I'm scared to death that I won't see you aroundIf you're anything like meThen you'll pack your bags and leaveCause you know that you'll be going eventuallyCause you know that you'll be going eventually
