plainsong - true story of amelia earhart lyrics

Loading...

you take it or you leave it but i’m telling anyhow
there’s a story you should know
amelia was a hero in all of your hearts
and that’s all they want you to know

she landed in the headlines on the first day of july
when electra hit the ocean bed
and flying fifteen hundred miles from her allotted course
was not what all the newsstands said

she left with captain noonan, her navigating force
from new guinea to the howland isles
and thirty minutes fuel left, “no landfall” came the cry
and all of us believed them for a while

oh amelia, it’s true, you’re the lady of the air
this i’m not disputing anyhow
but if what mr. goerner said
is only half the truth, then amelia

for thirty days, the lexington and others searched the sea
before pr+nouncing earhart lost
and all was going smoothly and the senators relaxed
amelia and noonan paid the cost

but the cbs man goerner was confused by all the facts
he said “there’s someone telling lies
amelia’s plane was not the one they detailed in the news
the fuel tanks alone were twice that size”
oh amelia, it’s true, you’re the lady of the air
this i’m not disputing anyhow
but if what mr. goerner said
is only half the truth, then amelia

and jesus salas, one of many, he had no call to lie
he was working in the harbour that day
and saipan was a wartime stronghold of the j+panese
and jesus saw the flyers led away

so who’s to point the finger more?
so who’s to say what’s right?
me, i just wanted you to hear
how brave amelia earhart, first lady of the air
and frederick noonan ended their careers

oh amelia, it’s true, you’re the lady of the air
this i’m not disputing anyhow
but if what mr. goerner said
is only half the truth, then amelia, oh amelia
