lyrics

In the park there’s a wicker made plane that crashed down just the other day
The pilot had lost his way got disoriented and crash landed in the middle of the city
He’d never seen buildings so tall and wondered why they even didn’t ever lean over and fall
And wondered how he’d manage to navigate through them all like he did
But oh how they seemed to lean over him now as if to peer down on the broken scene
As if to question the innocent invasion of the stranger brought down in the hurricane
He said, where ever I am lord, please you must explain, just hours ago I was takin’ off in my wicker plane
Night fell and with it came the rain, down on the buildings, the pilot the plane
Rain ran down his hair, hangin’ so low makin’ circles in the puddles where the drops would go
A little boy came along, took him to a tree on a gentle slope, said this tree is a misfit like you and me
On rainy nights like this the bark comes off like rope
They bundled up the bark, each took a load, took it to the high rise where the little one lived
Tossed it down the park with a mighty throw and watched it unroll to the ground
The Pilot ran down, tied the park to the prop and promptly left the park to go back to the top
There they hauled the plane clear up to the roof, the boy said the place you come from that’s where I’ll be from too
Where ever I am lord, please you must explain, just hours ago, I was takin’ off in my wicker plane
Now you’re in a lovely garden it’s such a lovely garden you’re in a lovely garden it’s such a lovely garden Where ever I am lord, I know where I am lord, where ever I am lord, I know where I am lord
Where ever I am lord, please you must explain, just hours ago, I was takin’ off in my wicker plane Just hours ago, I was takin’ off in my wicker plane
