In the Distance the Dawn is Breaking

lyrics

(Main harmony.)

I’m on a plane in the dead of night,
By a window on the plane’s left side.
Behind the wing, I can see down,
But the wing takes up most of the view.

Though the wing is just discernible,
It’s dark outside and the only light
Is a white navigation light,
It is right at the end of the wing.

We are in cloud, as the dream starts off.
The light is enveloped in a mist
And has an eerie kind of glow.
There is a vapour trail from the wing.

In the cabin, there’s silence except
For the drone of the aircraft engines.
No talking, no children crying,
No flight attendants around, nothing.

I’m aware of the aircraft turning
To the left, I look out the window.
We are no longer in the clouds.
In the distance the dawn is breaking.

There are lights on a coastline below
And lights in what I guess is the sea.
The engines change tone, power down,
In preparation to land. Dream ends.
