I See Hawks In L.A. - Turn That Airplane Around lyrics

Miss Winters she raised up twelve wild sons up into the halls of wealth But when that agent came yesterday she was all by herself An ice cold hand on her shoulder and the wink of a sorrowful eye And eighty-six years of breathing right just flashed across the sky And they cried Turn that airplane around sir Please turn that airplane around Set those wheels back on the ground Please turn that airplane around Sweet Lucy was just nine years old a sight for any sore eyes Life was all about jumping rope and flying kites up in the sky She never felt that agent's hand and she never felt any pain A flash of light and a lightning strike now she's on that plane Turn that airplane around sir Please turn that airplane around How could you take our beautiful child With so much life left to come Turn that airplane around sir Please turn that airplane around Because we can't make it with out her Please turn that airplane around I thought I felt the agent's hand, heard him come creeping right by And I tried to persuade him it was not my time yet to fly But he just stood there silent and timeless as the sun There was no use resisting for my time certainly had come And I cried Turn this airplane around sir Please turn this airplane around It can't be me that you're here to see With so many things left undone Turn this airplane around, sir Please turn this airplane around Just one more day down on this earth Please turn this airplane around Return to top
