[Verse 1: Lion-throated heartland-rock male lead, rim-click snare, twelve-string guitar] Nora flies the mail plane out of Harlow every day Six-fifteen she banks above my daddy's field of hay I've been waving like a fool for two years from the truck She tips her wings at everyone, so I just pushed my luck Borrowed Uncle Ray's old mower and I waited for the moon Started cutting on a Tuesday in the second week of June Three nights, headlights, cutting letters through the green Three hundred feet across, the biggest words you've ever seen [Pre-Chorus: Lion-throated heartland-rock male lead, string section climbing] M and A, two R's and a Y M and E, and all of it for the sky [Hook: Lion-throated heartland-rock male lead, string section and the full kit] I wrote it in big letters in the field below Three hundred feet so the sky would know Come in low on the morning run Dip your wing if I'm the one [Verse 2: Lion-throated heartland-rock male lead, twelve-string guitar ringing, kick on the downbeats] Thursday night the rain came and I thought I lost the E Friday cut it twice as deep down on my hands and knees Added N and O and R and A, and then I added H Didn't know it had no H, I guess I'll hear it every day Saturday, six-oh-five, I'm standing in the middle of the Y Every neighbor on the fence line squinting at the sky Then I hear the engine coming up the valley from the south With my hat in both my hands and every word stuck in my mouth [Hook: Lion-throated heartland-rock male lead, string section and the full kit] I wrote it in big letters in the field below Three hundred feet so the sky would know Come in low on the morning run Dip your wing if I'm the one [Bridge: Lion-throated heartland-rock male lead, rim-click to full kit, twelve-string alone under the first lines] She came in low, lower than she'd ever flown Low enough to see me standing in the hay alone Then she dipped the left wing once Then she dipped it twice [Verse 3: Lion-throated heartland-rock male lead, string section and glockenspiel over the full band] Then she set it down on Miller's road and ran across the field Mail bags in the cockpit and the engine still unsealed Kissed me in the middle of the Y with the neighbors going wild Said, "You spelled it with an H," and then she laughed and then she smiled [Final Hook: Lion-throated heartland-rock male lead, everything in, lion-throated] I wrote it in big letters in the field below Three hundred feet so the sky would know Come in low on the morning run Dip your wing if I'm the one [Outro: Lion-throated heartland-rock male lead, twelve-string and strings ringing out] Every morning, six-fifteen She dips the wing Twice [End]
