Paul Revere and the Raiders
Observation From Flight 285
[Verse 1]
Through the window pane, window of a plane
At the ground below movin' by slow
30,000 feet, gettin' things to eat
High in the air, you're not there
[Verse 2]
Clouds are white as snow, far down below
It's wintertime in my mind
Standin' on the wing an angel starts to sing
High in the air, you're not there
[Chorus]
Passengers sleepin', and no one looks down
Still, yet it slowly floats by
See myself standing alone on the ground
And I'm lost in my head in the sky
[Verse 3]
Patchwork fields don't look real
Houses small, hardly there at all
Seat belt sign flashes my mind
High in the air, you're not there
[Verse 4]
Slowly going down, comin' into town
Miniature cars, people very far
Kind of hard to see, how it came to be
High in the air, you're not there
[Chorus]
Passengers sleepin', and no one looks down
Still, yet it slowly floats by
See myself standing alone on the ground
And I'm lost in my head in the sky
