Crosby, David - Amelia Lyrics
I was driving across the burning desert
When I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
It was the strings of my guitar
The drone of flying engines
Is a song so wild and blue
It scrambles time and seasons if it gets through to you
And then your life becomes a travelogue
Of picture postcard charms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
Now people will tell you where they've gone
They'll tell you where to go
Where some have found their paradise
Others just come to harm
Oh Amelia, it was just a false alarm
I wish that she was here tonight
It's so hard to obey
Her sad request of me to kindly stay away
So this is how I hide the hurt
As the road leads cursed and charmed
I tell Amelia, it was just a false alarm
A ghost of aviation
She was swallowed by the sky
Or by the sea, like me she had a dream to fly
Like Icarus ascending
On beautiful foolish arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
Now maybe I've never really loved
I guess that is the truth
I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitude
And looking down on everything
I crashed into her arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel
To shower off the dust
And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
I dreamed of 747's
Over geometric farms
Dreams, Amelia, dreams and false alarms

Crosby, David Amelia Comments
Simply beautiful! This relieved anxiety for me today!
This is so Joni...
Grande grande David,mi fai piangere.
Pretty brave to attempt this song. But then,singing her songs can sometimes kickstart you to better your own songs.
Magical
GOD I LOVE THIS!!! IT LEAVES ME AN EMOTIONAL WRECK EVERY TIME I LISTEN. I LOVE THIS CROZ!!!
its a gift, kind of what love is, love them both
Mike bowser, what a voice , your voice had carried through some tough times, thank you for your music
By Joni Mitchell. Crosby said it's always been one of his favorite sons by Joni and he finally decided to record his own version of it.
A lovely lilting quality you bring to this beautiful song.
blessings on you, crosby. magnificent.
One of my favourite songs. Joni's will never be bettered, but this is a lovely version.
if you can keep on then I can keep on .. thanks David
We all get old if we are lucky, how many of us have a friend like D C that still loves his old lover, I would never take the piss out of this.
Stuff me I wasn't expecting to find this, I kind of know what they owe each other, is it just me but that's what love is
it is M8 and bless you for sayin so
Sweet ..
Beautiful version!
Just à marvellous song
Stay healthy and keep making beautiful music, my mother-in-law loves your music too!
Not a patch on the brilliant original version by Joni... Crosby should be trying a little harder to create new music.
Um hello? Do yr research
EnosEverything pretty much all his new stuff is original. Do your research before posting
Cos still loves Joni
Enos: Plenty of new music by DC; three or four recent albums full. Take a listen!
I think it's beautiful, and heartbreaking....their history...an incredible song by Joni...makes perfect sense to me. Dave's vocals are beautiful. I'm so glad he did this cover....(and usually I can't stand covers) but now I can hear this masterpiece two great ways. His and hers. It's almost impossible to cover Joni Mitchel. This is the only cover of any of her songs I've ever thought was truly great.
Simply Beautiful !
