[ Featuring Josh Finn ]
She lived close enough to the airport
That the engines could be heard
Late at night we'd watch them overhead
Planes shrunk to the size of birds
Tail lights of aircraft
Would glitter in the deep black
We'd talk til the morning brought the blue
I'd ask her questions,
She spread her answers out like map pins
Star constellations in her room
Saying
I don't know, Sydney or Nova Scotia
We can go anywhere tonight
If we leave right now
Beneath the midnight stars
Of late October
I just know that we'll be fine
I just know that we'll be fine
She settled down about five years ago
While I was abroad sleeping around
I came back to England for the music
And thought of her when I hit the ground
Still late at night, plane lights flicker
Above my head, as I return there in my mind
Asking her questions like
Where is it we should go
Instead of what are we trying to find
And she says
I don't know, Sydney or Nova Scotia
We can go anywhere tonight
If we leave right now
Beneath the midnight stars
Of late October
I just know that we'll be fine
I just know that we'll be fine
And she says
I don't know, Sydney or Nova Scotia
We can go anywhere tonight
If we leave right now
Beneath the midnight stars
Of late October
I just know that we'll be fine
I just know that we'll be fine
