thirty thousand feet

Liner Notes

These lyrics just moved me to remember the death of my own father, which happened about the same time as Liz's father passing. We collaborated on a song back then " Photos Of My Father". That supplied words to my own feelings of loss and emptiness. And here we are again. Thanks, Liz.

Liz says: a thousand thanks, Eric, for your tenderness as you brought these words to life. Your music makes the words reach deeper into my heart and bring a tear to my eye. I’m sorry about the loss of your father and I treasure the songs you have done with me as we cherish the memories of our dads.

Lyrics

looking at the pale moon
as it rises high
bright above the thick clouds
we just flew through

the stars shine so softly
in vast darkness
I see one that is brighter
it must be you

at thirty thousand feet
I think about you
at thirty thousand feet
I sense you next to me
at thirty thousand feet
I feel a little closer…
to the heavens where
you watch over me

last time I flew down here
it was to see you
we watched horses graze as
the gold sun set

you said that you felt older
tired and sore
but weren’t ready for good byes
no not just yet

at thirty thousand feet
I think about you
at thirty thousand feet
I feel you next to me
at thirty thousand feet
I feel a little closer…
to the heavens where
you watch over me

if I knew then what I know now is true
about how much I care and miss you
would I have showed you more love?
or shared more time with you?

C
at thirty thousand feet
I think about you
at thirty thousand feet
I feel you next to me
at thirty thousand feet
I feel a little closer…
to the heavens where
you watch over me
