Let Me Make This Plane Lyrics

Please just let me make this plane

Before the overnight milk-run train

Your voice, your choice is all I follow

And I know it's tight, but if I could just get on the evening flight

To tell the truth I know exactly what I should do

But my legs wouldn't take me there if I asked them to

If this thing we have is not to last

I'll take the first door please, just help me rip the bandage fast

Blind ivy reaches up and pulls itself from underground

The leaves and flowers later fall without a breath of sound

No mind how much I water, and how well I tend the blooms

I deadhead all that's passed, but a drought's a drought in any room

And now I face the lonely midnight pain

I will lose in this but you won't gain

My suitcase is full of things we can't discuss

So let's throw that baggage under the Greyhound bus

And lest you need reminding hon

Two is better than a weaker one
