From the recording Glad Days
Lyrics
THE WRONG PLANE HOME
Airport in plenty of time
Take off, then I see as we climb
I’ve flown on the wrong plane home.
I call and tell you the news
You say that you always knew what I’d do
That I’d let you down.
But I swear its true
That I meant to do all those things I said I would.
I land somewhere in Japan
Desperate, I tell them that I’ve just
Flown on the wrong plane home.
You say that I’ve done it again
Lies told and promises broken
Once more and you’re done for good.
But I swear to you
That I meant to do everything I said I would.
So sorry I’ve offended
There is no harm intended
My mind is always in the clouds
No flights returning tonight
But I’ll find a way to get right back home
Anyway I can
But I swear to you
That I meant to do all the things I said I would.
