lyrics

"Amelia Earhart"
by Andrew Delaney & Nicolette Good

Hope against hope
And skin against skin
When the fire dies down will I see you again
But you don't say a word
You just pack up your things
And you go

The pilot is tired
And the craft's showin' wear
'neath that movie star smile were you gaspin' for air?
You ain't been seen in a while
But you're out there somewhere
I just know

Amelia Earhart's still flyin'
Though the radio's long dead
And the search party's leavin' the island
And Saint Jude is shakin' his head

Time marches on
And the story grows
So your pictures don't fade and you never get old
While the turth of the thing
It just cracks and erodes
Into dust

But if I know you
And I probably don't
There's an ache in your heart and a lump in your throat
Wells up every time
I sing something I wrote
About us

Amelia Earhart's still flyin'
Though the radio's long dead
And the search party's leavin' the island
And Saint Jude is shakin' his head

Amelia Earhart's still flyin'
Though the radio's long dead
And the search party's leavin' the island
And Saint Jude is shakin' his head
