lyrics

On a 3:30 flight to Alaska,
He sat with his head in his hands
He leaned on the window as he looked down,
Wondering, "who will catch me if I fall?"

But no one came when they heard him laughing
Because he was already too far gone
So he sat there and looked out o'er the water
"oh who will miss me when I fall?"

On a 3:30 flight to Alaska,
He sat with his drink in his hand.
He swallowed down the last few drops
And fell back asleep,
And he never did wake up again.
