[Lyric] With Airplanes (The Brand New Shoes)

Watch them descend between the raindrops on the window
Skies outside like clouded eyes, like Achlys in the mist
There’s so much sadness when these airplanes aren’t moving
I can’t remember the last time it rained like this
The second gate in the airport
They each sit three seats apart
US tour, ninety-four
A five piece out of Florence Park

A missed connection
From JFK to Frisco
We made it 500 miles
Now we’re trapped in Ohio
But we’ll wait out the weather
And be lonely together
Oh
La Quinta, here we come
This should be fun
Yeah let’s have some fun

The bass guitarist
Plagued by indecision, he smokes away the pain
He’s dreaming bout the singer
And her brother’s tapping rhythms to the pouring rain
The lead guitarist
Sees something kind of funny but he doesn’t want to laugh
He knows the writer’s watching
An observer of the world on the world’s behalf
A missed connection From JFK to Frisco
We made it 500 miles Now we’re trapped in Ohio
But we’ll wait out the weather
And be lonely together
Oh
La Quinta, here we come
This should be fun
Yeah let’s have some fun

There’s a stillness in the airport near Sandusky
No one coming, no one leaving
Airplanes grounded for the evening
Oh, Eternal Night
