Lyrics:

Your eyes were shimmering, Amelia
And I mistook it for love
When you asked me to go
As your celestial navigator
We would round the earth together
I would work the radio
Oh but Amelia all those miles were just a sum
You were living on a runway, what were you running from?

Oh but I loved you open-hearted
And I held your hand at night
High above the Pacific sea
Still it was like you were flying solo
And I was merely standing by
On your flights of fancy
Never looked back 'til we were running out of fuel
We were running out of land, I was running out of you

Oh Amelia, don't I feel like a clown
Oh you went down in history
Well, me - I just went down
Sweet Amelia, you will never be found
Didn't even know your own heart
Hey but it don't matter now

Your sustenance was fame
Always starving for a thrill
Not afraid of a thing
Couldn't you've wished upon a rainbow
Just like everybody else?
But you had to wish on lightning
Oh and I was just a pawn in your adventure
I was just a casualty of your madness

Oh Amelia, don't I feel like a clown
Oh you went down in history
Well, me - I just went down
Sweet Amelia, you will never be found
Didn't even know your own heart
Hey but it don't matter now

The more I think about it now
Was only up above the clouds
That our love was ever real
And as the mist grew thicker
At the static's eerie silence
My heart stood still
Oh and the last thing that you said was you were sorry
I did it for love, you did it for glory

Oh Amelia, don't I feel like a clown
Oh you went down in history
Well, me - I just went down
Sweet Amelia, you will never be found
Didn't even know your own heart
Hey but it don't matter now
Bleck. Rarely do I get disgusted by a sound — today, I did. This song did it with its quasi-Ani DiFranco tone
Instant fave!
Where is "NEW SIBERIA"...?
those are some sweet and sad lyrics
ANNOYING!
Boring. Another one of those oh-so-sweet sounding vocalists. Is she six?
