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