I Flew Over Our House Last Night by Tom T. Hall
Artist: Tom T. Hall
Album: unknown
That old kentucky moon was shinin' bright as day
The stars were twinklin' in the milky way
The pilot said if you look close there's frankfort on the right
I flew over our house last night
Thirty thousand feet below me you were fast asleep
Thirty thousand feet above i almost stopped to weep
So close and yet so far away, so wrong and yet so right
I flew over our house last night
For just one second i thought i was back in town
The man your friends all say has only brought you down
The airline hostess asked me, "sir, are you sure that you're alright?"
I flew over our house last night
Thirty thousand feet below me you were fast asleep
And thirty thousand feet above i almost stopped to weep
I wonder did you toss and turn as i roared out of sight
I flew over our house last night
