I landed on Burnside
in a snow storm on a DC-8
We ran out of fuel
took out some trees and blew out ten candles

I landed on Burnside
through no fault of my own
a series of wrong turns
made what seemed like the easiest choices

Now, I'm finding a life that is far from
anything I ever expected
Sometimes, I think the hardest thing to imagine is
moving forward from here

I landed on Burnside
twenty years later and facing my ghosts
I'm thanking the pilot
All I wanted was thank the pilot
