Joe Henry - I Flew over Our House Last Night lyrics

That old Kentucky moon was shining bright as day The stars were all alive in the Milky Way The pilot said, "If you look close, there's Frankfurt on the right" I flew over our house last night Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep Thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep So close and yet so far away, so wrong and yet so right I flew over our house last night Just for one moment I felt I was back in town The man your friends all say has only brought you down The airline hostess asked me, "Sir, are you sure you're alright?" I flew over our house last night Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep And thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep I wonder did you toss and turn as I roared out of sight I flew over our house last night Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep And thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep I wonder did you toss and turn as I roared out of sight I flew over our house last night
