I hear the en-gines, watch the clouds—
(Pick up and repeat from: “Tear-drop falls“)
Whole damn world—looks dis-tant now---
But I can’t seem—to—put—no space---
In my cold heart and your sweet face---
A-cross the aisle—their hold-ing hands---
Re-veal-ing brand—new wed-ding bands----
But our sweet-gold—it’s gone---to rust,--
Now my life—has turned to dust---
But if I could—I’d turn—a-round---
Set my feet—back—on the ground---
Cause all this plane—ride holds—for me---
Is a thou-sand miles—of mis-er-y---
