Harriet Quimby Lyrics

Henry Quimby was a beautiful girl,

who just happened to be out of her mind

She flew an airplane that never should have flown

Girls like her were so hard to find

She took a ride one day out over the beach, with a gentleman friend from the town

She was smiling, the wind in her hair

Something cracked, they both went down

And the waves carried her down

She settled in the sand, her eyes far away

She was still flying, when they carried her to shore

Empty eyes to the sky, where she would be evermore

She'd be evermore

Henry Quimby is a beautiful girl, who just happens to be out of her time

At Angels three-zero, she smiles at the sky

Through the windshield by the left seat that she flies….
