Plane Song lyrics

The seats were all dusty

The side doors were open

Those airplanes were left there years ago

Granddad had spoken of forests in Russia

I pictured him walking in ten inches of snow

We liked pretending those planes could fly

That nothing was out of reach in the whole of the sky

It was just pretending, simple to do

We'd make some plans and travel someplace new

Paris and London

Those cities in movies

Perfect lives were lived if they could be believed

Back in the real world they seemed so distant

But none of it mattered in the airplane field

We liked pretending those planes could fly

That rusty old wings knew the entire sky

It was just pretending there was nothing more

Hey, why the sad face? Can't you feel this cabin soar

It was great pretending those planes could fly

That nothing was out of reach in the whole of the sky

Come on hurry we'll soon be gone

It's time for us to put our seat belts on
