Joni: This Flight Tonight

Look out the left the captain said
The lights down there, that's where 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 trailers

Not the early one
That you can wish upon;
Not the northern one
That guides in sailors

Oh starbright, starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight...

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 playing goodbye baby, baby, goodbye
Ooh, ooh, love is blind

Up go the flaps, down go 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 baby.
