Picture From A Plane

I'm just a poor boy and I miss my girl I'm just a poor boy and I miss my girl She's everything in this world For me Sent me a picture taken from a plane She sent me a picture taken from a plane Now the clouds will never look the same Again I've never been further than the edge of this town I've never been lost and I've never been found But if you put on that Blaze [Foley] record, I disappear To another country and to another year – With her From 40,000 feet I'd watch the morning unfurl From 40,000 feet I'd watch the morning unfurl I'd circumnavigate this world For her But I wake up in the morning and it's all the same I get up in the morning and it's all the same Except I don't know the man who bears my name Anymore I ain't slept for days, just chased my shadow around I've never seen the waves, but I'd like to hear the sound I'm gonna sit right on that Greyhound Let it take me away, and take me down – That road Now people look at me like I have fallen from space Strolling down the street with snow falling on my face Me and my January face, with grace But when I close my eyes I'm in another land If I close my eyes I'm in another land With palm trees, the ocean, and some sand And her But, I've never been further than the edge of this town I've never been lost and I've never been found But if I put on that Townes record, I disappear To another country and to another year – With her
