The Long Beds: Listen

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Wheels are up and we’re underway
Leaving St. Paul , headed for L.A.
Saddest thing I’ve ever seen
A woman’s tears behind a back porch screen.
Softest thing I’ve ever seen
Your shadow moving over me
Silver spark up in the blue
30,000 feet and I burn for you

chorus
Candle wax is long gone cool
On that dresser in your room
Half my life I’ve been on the road
The other half I’ve been coming home.

Postcard from the stratosphere
Headwinded, wish you were here
Ten miles a minute I feel our hearts
Slipstreaming apart
All this air between you and me
I still find it hard to breathe

chorus

bridge
Mi corazón tiene alas
Que vivo en azul

Icarus was a friend of mine
Suffering for his pride
I keep his feather in my shirt
It whispers, dirt to dirt
I’ll come in low, I’ll duck the sun
Fly straight to you, my flightless one

chorus

Silver spark up in the blue
30,000 feet and I burn for you.
