This Flight Tonight

Joni Mitchell

    Continues after the ad

    Look out the left the captain said
    The lights down there, that's where we'll land
    I saw a falling star burn up
    Above the Las Vegas sands
    It wasn't the one that you gave to me
    That night down south between the trailers
    Not the early one
    That you can wish upon
    Not the northern one
    That guides in the sailors

    Oh, starbright, starbright
    You've got the lovin' that I like, all right
    Turn this crazy bird around
    I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

    You got the touch so gentle and sweet
    But you've got that look so critical
    Now I can't talk to you, baby
    I get so weak
    Sometimes I think love is just mythical
    Up there's a heaven
    Down there's a town
    Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
    Oh, blackness, blackness dragging me down
    Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine

    Continues after the ad

    Oh, starbright, starbright
    You've got the lovin' that I like, all right
    Turn this crazy bird around
    I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

    I'm drinking sweet champagne
    Got the headphones up high
    Can't numb you out
    Can't drum you out of my mind
    They're playing goodbye baby, baby, goodbye
    Ooh, ooh, love is blind
    Up go the flaps, down go the wheels
    I hope you got your heat turned on, baby
    I hope they finally fixed your automobile
    I hope it's better when we meet again, baby

    Starbright, starbright
    You got the lovin' that I like, all right
    Turn this crazy bird around
    I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
