Joni Mitchell — This Flight Tonight

[Verse 1] Look out the left, the captain said The lights down there, that's where we'll land I saw a falling star burn up Above the Las Vegas sands [Verse 2] It wasn't the one that you gave to me That night down south between the trailers Not the early one that you can wish upon Not the northern one that guides in the sailors [Chorus] Oh, star bright, star bright You've got the lovin' that I like all right Turn this crazy bird around I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight [Verse 3] You got the touch so gentle and sweet But you've got that look so critical Now I can't talk to you, baby, I get so weak Sometimes I think love is just mythical [Verse 4] Up there's the heavens, down there's a town Blackness everywhere and little lights shine Oh, blackness, blackness dragging me down Come on, light the candle in this poor heart of mine [Chorus] Oh, star bright, star bright You've got the lovin' that I like all right Turn this crazy bird around I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight [Verse 5] I'm drinking sweet champagne, got the headphones up high Can't numb you out, can't drum you out of my mind They're playing "Goodbye, baby, baby, goodbye Ooh ooh, love is blind" [Verse 6] Up go the flaps, down go the wheels I hope you got your heat turned on, baby I hope they finally fixed your automobile I hope it's better when we meet again, baby [Chorus] Star bright, star bright You've got the lovin' that I like all right Turn this crazy bird around Shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
