Lyrics
ON ANOTHER PLANE
The captain turns to Sarah and says
?this looks like a blind alley to me?
while they tripped along the murky aisles with the rest of the company
while the prince was speaking to the viscount who was running
in the streets where he learned that Little John
twanged his bowstring with a shout
He shouted he shouted out loud
The she turns to him and says
?I think someone is watching our every move?
But his red eyes show that he has not slept when they
Suddenly emerge into a clump of sumac
singing ?robbers have all the orgies?
what had she had done ? unwittingly ?
a bad bad thing
a bad thing what had she done
The captain shook the ash from his pipe
and pushed slowly down with his thumb
Sarah stood feet wide apart,
firmly planted, she was smiling
Arguing with his plan wouldn?t help the situation
she had to calm him down
just calm him down, calm him down
The canyon ended abruptly in a high frozen cataract
A cataract a Frozen cataract
They pulled up to the airport parking lot with a full ten minutes to spare
he looked at her and saw the alarm what had she seen
A swarm of ragged women and children search each day and linger
They held their breath and stepped carefully back, carefully
Carefully
Planting their feet
