The Here Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was an isolated incident
Back in 1984
On a plane headed south to west Texas
I held my wings next to the frozen window
Then a lady sat down right beside me
With big black glasses and long brown hair
She told me she was from West Virginia
She bought me a soda and held my hand
And we turned on the radio
And we were laughing out loud
And thats exactly who we are
Its who we are
Miss West Virginia please tell me Texas is not that far
Miss Virginia was a teacher of science
She said I looked nervous so I explained
Its the shuttle I saw on the tv
She told me that shuttles and planes arent the same
