Dan Mangan - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

What a beautiful face

I have found in this place

That is circling all round the sun

What a beautiful dream

That could flash on a screen

Be gone in a blink of an eye from me

Soft and sweet

Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die

And our ashes will fly

From the aeroplane over the sea

But for now we are young

Let us lay in the sun

And count every beautiful thing we can see

Love to be

In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

What a curious night

We have found here tonight

There is music that sounds from the street

There are lights in the clouds

Anna's ghost all around

Hear her voice as it's ringing and reeling through me

Soft and sweet

How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Oh, how I remember you

How I would push my fingers through

Your mouth to make those muscles move

That made your voice so smooth and sweet

But now we keep where we don't know

All secrets sleep in winter clothes

With the ones we loved so long ago

Now we don't even know his name

What a beautiful face

I have found in this place

That is circling all round the sun

When we meet on a cloud

I'll be laughing out loud

I'll be laughing at everything I see

Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
