This Airplane Is A Ribbon Lyrics - Sherwood

This airplane is a ribbon 

With a bird at either end 

And it's featherlight and floating in the wind 

And it seems there's no direction 

Gentle push from gentle hands 

And I have no way of knowing where I'll land 

And I'll take that long drive down 

To spend two months in your town 

But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around 

And I've seen a drunken poet 

Spilling verses on the bar 

I wish I remembered them so beautiful and so dark 

And I watched that moment flicker 

As they vanished in the air 

Right in front of me but he didn't seem to care 

And I'll take that long drive down 

To spend two months in your town 

But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around 

If you're anything like me 

Then you'll pack your bags and leave 

Cause you know that you'll be going eventually 

And don't say it isn't bad enough 

That I'm the only one that cares about this stuff 

Cause we both know that I won't go without you 

And don't say it wasn't good enough 

Cause these lonely couple years have been too rough 

And we both know that I won't go without you 

And I'll take that long drive down 

To spend two months in your town 

But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around 

If you're anything like me 

Then you'll pack your bags and leave 

Cause you know that you'll be going eventually 

Cause you know that you'll be going eventually
