lyrics

From a DC-9 at night
I look out on a field of lights
but that’s not for you and I, I know
Pools of darkness lie
both to the left and right
beneath the swollen sky
The low lows
The low lows
The low lows

On a DC-9 in flight
they turn the aisle lights off at midnight
I saw a bright & shining
sidewalk through the clouds
slowly diverging from our route
& pressed my hand against
the tiny row
of plastic windows
& watched the next-to-last hope go.
The low lows
The low lows
The low lows
