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