lyrics

I can never remember
Which side of this vessel
Has a more picturesque view
Of la guardia
And if boats are special
Or planes use port and starboard too

From this height it seems unreal
There's no feeling of vertigo
No distinction between winding
Rivers and serpentine roads

Patchwork grids too small to see
Fractured towns and endless seas


I look for the glory
On the clouds below
But the sun is on the wrong side
To see our shadow

But somewhere in view
From across the aisle
Suspended refracting vapor
Moves all the while

With each fraction of motion
In individual eyes
Always a different circle
Though static as we fly

So I look for the glory
A halo spectrum of light
Surrounding our shadow
But it's still out of sight


Making the final descent
Two dimensions turn to three
As the skyline rises to meet us
It's scape scrapes our current scene

Gripping the armrests
As the brakes and engines roar
Pressure drops, my ears pop
As the landing gear grinds forward

And the lurch when we hit the floor
And we're here when we weren't before


I looked for the glory
On the clouds above
the sun was on the wrong side
But there's glory in our love

somewhere out of view
From across the east river
You heard me overhead
Maybe you felt a shiver

With each fraction of motion
In your deep brown eyes
Unconditional circles
Reflecting clear blue skies

So I look for the glory
A halo spectrum of light
From metal birds and mountaintops
But it's just to my right
