Wichita Skyline Lyrics - A Few Small Repairs - Shawn Colvin

Down at the train they go 

To Independence everyday 

Yeah, but anywhere else now 

Seems like a million miles away 

And I must have been high 

To believe that I would ever leave 

Now I'm just a flat fine line 

Like the Wichita skyline 

I rode on the air stream 

Across the great lonesome afternoon 

And I wished hard enough to hurt 

Drove fast enough to catch the moon 

And I must have been dreamin' again 

'Cause there's nothin' around the bend 

Except for that flat fine line 

The Wichita skyline 

Well, as far as Salina 

I can get that good station from Larue 

And I'm searchin' the dial while 

I'm scanning the sky for a patch of blue 

And I watch the black clouds roll in 

Chasin' me back again 

Back to the flat fine line 

The Wichita skyline, 

The Wichita skyline 

The Wichita skyline
