Lyric This Flight Tonight

(Joni Mitchell)

Look out the left,captain said
the lights down there,that s were we ll land
I saw a falling star burn up
above the Las Vegas sands
it wasn t the one that you gave to me
that night down south between the trailer
not the earthly one
that you can wish upon
not the northern one

Chorus:
Oh,starbright,starbright
you ve got the loving that I like, all right
turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn t have got on this flight tonight

You got the touch so gentle and sweet
but you ve got that look so critical
I can t talk to you baby
I get so weak
sometimes I think love is just mythical
up there s a heaven
down there s a town
blackness everywhere and little lights shine
blackness,blackness dragging me down
come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine

Chorus.

I m drinking sweet champagne
got the headphones up high
can t numb you out
can t drum you out of my mind
they re playin "Goodbye,baby,baby,goodbye
ooh,ooh,love is blind"
up to the flaps, down to the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope it s better when we meet again

Chorus.
