I Flew Over Our House Last Night Lyrics - Storyteller Poet Philosopher - Tom T. Hall

That old Kentucky moon was shinin' bright as day 

The stars were twinklin' in the milky way 

The pilot said if you look close there's frankfort on the right 

I flew over our house last night 

Thirty thousand feet below me you were fast asleep 

Thirty thousand feet above i almost stopped to weep 

So close and yet so far away, so wrong and yet so right 

I flew over our house last night 

For just one second i thought i was back in town 

The man your friends all say has only brought you down 

The airline hostess asked me, "sir, are you sure that you're alright?" 

I flew over our house last night

Thirty thousand feet below me you were fast asleep 

And thirty thousand feet above i almost stopped to weep 

I wonder did you toss and turn as i roared out of sight 

I flew over our house last night
