Lyrics This Flight Tonight (2021 Remaster) - Joni Mitchell

"Look out the left", the captain said
"The lights down there, that′s where we'll land"
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vegas sands

It wasn′t the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one that you can wish upon
Not the northern one that guides in the sailors

Oh, starbright, starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn′t have got on this flight tonight

You got the touch so gentle and sweet, but
You′ve got that look so critical
Now I can't talk to you, baby, I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical

Up there′s thе heavens, down therе's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Oh, blackness, blackness dragging me down
Come on, light the candle in this poor heart of mine

Oh, starbright, starbright
You′ve got the lovin' that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn′t have got on this flight tonight

I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you out
Can′t drum you out of my mind
They′re playing "Goodbye, baby
Baby, goodbye, ooh, ooh, love is blind"

Up go the flaps, down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on, baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope it's better when we meet again, baby

Starbright, starbright
You′ve got the lovin' that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
Shouldn′t have got on this flight tonight
