Another Plane Went Down

Shawn Colvin/ John Leventhal
 Another plane went down today in the
 Atlantic nine miles off shore
 And every single black car that goes by just might be yours
 I haven't moved from this spot I sit her watching TV in bed
 I wanna see if the crash was sabotage
 I wanna know if everyone is dead
 I remember when I was fifteen me and Liz would ride around
 We liked to smoke in the car in the winter with all the windows rolled down
 I had a dream a plane exploded over my lake one afternoon
 I still remember the feeling when I woke up
 I can't describe the magnitude
 SO MANY OTHER DREAMS
 The one I had today
 You and the Italian woman naked
 Your fingers between her legs
 She lay like a body in the water
 She barely made a sound
 She fell as quiet, as quiet, as a leaf falling
 To the ground
 Meanwhile back on earth I told you to fuck off and go away
 I've gotta call my friend who moved from New York to LA
 Five days before Christmas last year his girlfriend died in a plane crash
 He says the way that it happen is your heart
 Is so heavy it rips away upon impact
 And then you just bleed inside
 You don't even feel a thing
 They found her on a hill in Columbia
 Intact among the debris
 So many other dreams
 The ones where I'm on death row
 The ones where I don't know why
 The ones where my parents drove
 I wish I was with you now
 Down at the Sixth Street bar
 Laughing at the singer
 Smoking in the car
