lyrics

I spend most of my days
Counting the airplanes
Flying high in this midwestern sky

Old gas station porch
My friend you're weathered and worn
Sunk roof and creaking floorboards
And a chair to pass the time

I'll wait til the sun goes down
And the station has turned off its lights
To walk the road back home
Under this midwestern sky

The fields run for miles
A grand theater with dozens of aisles
Where the scarecrows sing
and swing in the wind

I remember Anne Marie
The Queen of the Northwest Sea
She was lost and stumbled on me
I was drunk on her eyes

She wanted us to leave
'Pack a suitcase and roll up your sleeves'
But leaving was never for me,
So I kissed her goodbye

I'll wait til the sun goes down
And the station has turned off its lights
To walk the road back home
Under this midwestern sky

My children have grown
They left town many years ago
My wife was the best of souls
I’m a lucky man

I don't rush anymore
Cause time ran out the back door
What’s the use in worrying for
When it all goes so quick

I'll wait til the sun goes down
And the station has turned off its lights
To walk the road back home
Under this midwestern sky

I spend most of my days
Counting the airplanes
Flying high in the midwestern sky

about

Ky Burt Portland, Oregon

"So, we will leave Tom Waits to tell us about the saloons, whores and carnival folk. Let John Prine nail toy railroad tracks to his kitchen table at Christmas, sing about his Mexican home. Now we have Ky Burt to bring us to places where we might want to live – where there are wildflowers, rain, and we can take new journeys.
