Is a song so wild and blue
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
She was swallowed by the sky
Like the hexagram of the heavens
I pulled into the cactus tree motel
Like Icarus ascending
For the picture post card charms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
Over geometric farms
Where some have found their paradise
Then your life becomes a travelogue
Others just come to harm
To shower off the dust
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
You never really know
Like me she had a dream to fly
I crashed into his arms
As the road leads cursed and charmed
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
I dreamed of seven forty sevens
Across the bleak terrain
I guess that is the truth
The drone of flying engines
They'll tell you where to go
On beautiful foolish arms
Leaving six white vapor trails
And looking down on everything
Or by the sea
It scrambles time and seasons
The ghost of aviation
His sad request of me to kindly stay away
So this is how I hide the hurt
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
People will tell you where they've gone
I wish that he was here tonight
If it gets through to you
I tell Amelia, it was just a false alarm
Like the strings of my guitar
But till you get there yourself
And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
Maybe I've never really loved
I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitudes
It's so hard to obey
