Takeoffs and Landings
Kris Roe
On this coldest of January nights
We'll drive out past the runway
And watch the planes go flying by
The runway lights are the deepest blue like the colors of your eyees
So close them tight and kiss me one last time
If you could go anywhere right now, where would you go?
And would you miss me when you get there?
There's no place that I would rather be
Please don't let me go falling from the sky
This fasten seat belt sign just needs to go out
If only you could be right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here
Passport, customs, carry-on
Remember to shut off all your electronic devices
Fell asleep on Tuesday... woke up on Monday afternoon
I slept right through your international date line
