1. From the window of a plane
The world below may seem unchanged
Rows of houses, lawns and trees, streams of traffic
The worries and the woes
Of those who dwell below
Cannot be seen from the plane as it passes
Chorus:
It’s hard times on the land
Marianna, take my hand
There are so few things it seems we can be sure of
In a world that’s gone astray
Who can safely say
That what we have is sure to last
2. From the two sides of our bed
So little’s being said
It’s tense to be this close and far apart
The future has you scared
A feeling I don’t share
Words of comfort are no comfort in the dark
Chorus:
It’s hard times on the land
Marianna, take my hand
To have and to hold was our vow
Vows are merely words
What we have is of real worth
Love we’ve shared for all these years
3. I’ve looked up at the sky
At planes as they’ve flown by
And wondered where the folks up there were heading
I’ve had my share of flights
And the ones that I most liked
Were the ones that flew me home where you were waiting
Chorus:
It’s hard times on the land
Marianna, take my hand
Touch can say so much without a word
It can say, “Don’t be afraid,
Though we may have lost our way
This too shall pass, love will last”
Far below a distant plane
This world may well have changed
I don’t want us to do the same, Marianna
