I've been in Chicago
for an hour or so
Waiting to board a plane

I've been in Chicago
Just so you know
I'm flying to Madrid, Spain
Looks like nothing will be the same

I'm getting on a plane
Watching things start to change
right before my eyes
Watching all I'm leaving behind
From the window of that plane
watching all this fade

I miss Des Moines already
I only left this morning
That quiet little city
It had more than enough
but never enough for me

I was ready to leave
but I left the biggest part of me
Shattered it in two
a piece for me, a piece for you

I'm getting on a plane
Watching things start to change
right before my eyes
Watching all I'm leaving behind
and all I see are the clouds
from the window of that plane
There's no turning back now

Please forgive me, now that I'm gone
When I come home, will we still be wrong?
Will we find our way back together
or should I just stay in Spain forever?

Over the ocean, a realization
I'll be gone for so long
Can I call you when I'm in Chicago again?
Can I call you when I'm flying back in?

Oh.....

From the window of a plane
watching all this fade
Nothing will ever be the same

Also called, "Boarding Call"

I was fortunate enough to get to spend a generous amount of time in the lovely country of Spain this summer, a circle trip from Madrid, down the southern coast and back again. What lovely memories that country gave me.

I wrote this song leaving O'Hare airport (Chicago) and flying over the Atlantic ocean, when I left I was in the midst of some... major turmoil with a person I valued highly in my life. Getting away was what I needed for that situation but I knew from that point in my life on that things were never going to be like they used to, everything had begun to change.

But I've learned to look forward to the changes that come and how they can better you.

I haven't written in so long, I've changed my style a little bit. Hope you enjoy it and hopefully I'll have an actual song for you one day.

Enjoy.
