Turning like a leaf in changing weather Feathering down to the earth Like a moonbeam come untethered Chalk it up to bad timing, bad signing Maps are misleading, are to be mistrusted Are no two paths alike I think Amelia had it okay She had a one in a million bad day With her eyes in the clouds The clouds in her eyes in a big, wide sky Expecting to fly Doesn't sound so bad to me Expecting to fly Doesn't sound so bad to me, so bad to me Here on the ground in a big, busy town Where there's more air above us And the schoolboy alone greets Every person he sees riding the public bus Pretends the driver is his father Strange how a city Can make blood seem like strangers Strangers like family I think Amelia had it okay She had a one in a million bad day With her eyes in the clouds The clouds in her eyes in a big, wide sky Expecting to fly Doesn't sound so bad to me Expecting to fly Doesn't sound so bad to me, so bad to me So bad to me, so bad to me
