30kft - Assemblage 23

Hello, if you’re there, pick up the phone

I’m calling from thirty thousand feet above you

The captain’s just informed us that our plane is going down

So I’m calling for one last time, to say I love you

I’m not certain how much time I may have left, so I’ll be brief

I’m sorry if this message only amplifies your grief

But I couldn’t bear the burden of never havin' said goodbye

And the pain you feel, I promise you, will go away with time

I’m sorry I won’t be there to see our children grow

Please tell them that I loved them more than they will ever know

Tell my family and friends how much I love them all as well

I’m sure that we will meet again but only time will tell

I’m sorry most of all I won’t be there when you grow old

To be there by your side and keep you warm when you are cold

Forgive me but I think my time is drawing to a close

So I’ve one last thing to tell you now before I have to go
