Strike Me Down

lyrics

I'm in the hall for the baggage claim
Scanning the bags for the one with the tag with my name
What they said was a slight delay
Turned into eternity trapped in my seat on the plane
But I've got to make it home by Sunday
And if I don't, please tell my daughter I'm sorry
I'm sorry

"Promise me that you'll be home for my birthday
You missed last year when your company sent you away"
"God strike me down if I tell a lie
I promise you that I'll be home with plenty of time"
Took off at night
Turbulent flight
Watching the lightning strike
We plunged through the clouds
The noise was so loud
But we came out alright
I just don't remember the landing

The man beside me picks up his suitcase
And the woman in yellow finds her cello at last
Finally my bag slides down the carousel
It's heavier than I remember it back when I packed
The customs form asks me to list the times that I've hurt someone
They've changed it a bit, I guess, since the last time I flew
They weigh my bag on the scales against the feather
And the man with the head of a jackal waves me on through

But I tell them I can't go on through the door that they're showing me
I tell them I can't go on
I tell them I can't go on

Because I've got to make it home by Sunday
And if I don't, please tell my daughter I'm sorry
I'm sorry
