lyrics

A dark cabin packed with postcard tales
At 30,000 feet
Lift a shutter and light it up
Didn’t have a window seat.

That view always clears my mind
Puts my feet down on the floor
Like those LA waves plunging me
Into the foreign shore.

I wish you could have seen those clouds
An endless fine merino fleece
With no prickles, stains, blood or skin
All held in one wonderful piece.

Yes those clouds were like the cotton crops
I drove past in Mississippi
Glowing with sweet sunrise over the dateline
Where we lost a sad day.

Saw that Delta harvest in full flight like a good year’s
Wimmera wheat in sandy loam
Well you can fly around the world for change
Yet some things are just like home.

And I wish you could have seen those clouds
Fluffed up like your Christmas Pavlova
I would have told you that and more
Right when I came over.

Yeah you liked things so pretty and nice
Made them with your hands
Those dolls immaculate, their hair so true
Never a stray strand.

“Life’s short, make the most of it”
You said I’m good at that, when we spoke our last
Well you could make a perfect blue sky
From one that’s overcast.

And I wish you could have seen those clouds
From above and looking down
You would have thought them so lovely
But I know, but I know, but I know
You see them now.
