Rob Hyman - Empty Plane lyrics

[Verse 1: Dar Williams] I leave for a living It's what we all do And I say that I'm missing the ones that I'm leaving And I always do But another truth is that you Begin again every time you fly There's peace in the airport Sitting at a gate by a door to the sky So it's hard, but it's not hard Fumble for your ID, credit card [Chorus] But then I walked on to But then I walked on to Then I walked on to An empty plane [Verse 2] And the girl at the Starbucks Looked like she knew me She poured a design on the foam of my coffee And she was smiling I said “It's funny how life at its best expanse Explodes, and it overspills But we try to fit it all in a grid And we say it's the strength of our will” And she started laughing She said “Look I made a wing, and another wing” [Chorus] And then I walked on to Then I walked on to Then I walked on to An empty plane [Bridge] I was moving fast now, understanding So much kindness, no frustration I asked the screener: "Does my life have a destiny? Or just a destination?" I thought I'd step away from my traveling Have a little time to connect the dots See my life like a spiral The DNA of my dreams and thoughts And I Believed In a legacy But I stood in the jet bridge And the young man nodded I looked at the name tag And said “Hello, Angel” [Verse 4] It was all empty seats now Nothing in the overhead I sat near the front and I started sleeping And I woke in my own bed And I said “Oh it's a dream But a dream that grows like a vision from a single spark” And I thanked my dream attendants And I rose and I dressed in the dark It was an early one today Yellow cab, JFK
