Lyrics: Shawn Colvin. A Few Small Repairs. Wichita Skyline.
Down at the train they go
To Independence everyday
Yeah, but anywhere else now
Seems like a million miles away
And I must have been high
To believe that I would ever leave
Now I'm just a flat fine line
Like the Wichita skyline
I rode on the air stream
Across the great lonesome afternoon
And I wished hard enough to hurt
Drove fast enough to catch the moon
And I must have been dreamin' again
'Cause there's nothin' around the bend
Except for that flat fine line
The Wichita skyline
Well, as far as Salina
I can get that good station from Larue
And I'm searchin' the dial while
I'm scanning the sky for a patch of blue
And I watch the black clouds roll in
Chasin' me back again
Back to the flat fine line
The Wichita skyline,
The Wichita skyline
The Wichita skyline
To Independence everyday
Yeah, but anywhere else now
Seems like a million miles away
And I must have been high
To believe that I would ever leave
Now I'm just a flat fine line
Like the Wichita skyline
I rode on the air stream
Across the great lonesome afternoon
And I wished hard enough to hurt
Drove fast enough to catch the moon
And I must have been dreamin' again
'Cause there's nothin' around the bend
Except for that flat fine line
The Wichita skyline
Well, as far as Salina
I can get that good station from Larue
And I'm searchin' the dial while
I'm scanning the sky for a patch of blue
And I watch the black clouds roll in
Chasin' me back again
Back to the flat fine line
The Wichita skyline,
The Wichita skyline
The Wichita skyline
A Few Small Repairs
