This Flight Tonight

[Joni Mitchell]

Starbright

Look out the left the captain said
The lights down there
That's where you'll land
Saw a falling star burnin
High above the
Las Vegas sand

It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailer
Not the early one
You can wish upon
Not the northern one
That guides in the sailor's

You've got that touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Can't talk to you babe
I get so weak
Sometimes I think that
Love is just mythical

Up there's a heaven - down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and
Little lights shine
Blackness, blackness dragging me down
Come on light a candle
In this heart of mine

Starbright, starbright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on
This flight tonight

I'm drinking sweet champange
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you- can't drum you
Out of my mind

Theyre singing
"Goodbye baby, baby goodbye
Uhhh, love is blind!"

Up go the flaps - down go the wheels
Hope you got your heat turned on baby
Hope they finaly fixed your atomobile
Hope its better
When we meet again babe

Starbright, starbright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on
This flight tonight
Should not have got on
This flight tonight

Starbright, starbright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on
This flight tonight
Should not have got on
This flight tonight
