I don't own Wolf's Rain or this song
Outbound Plane
I don't want to be standing here/
The old song on the nearby radio is both comforting and upsetting. It's beautiful but, well, it's true. I don't want to be standing here.
With this ticket for this outbound plane/
I wish there was a plane. I'd be gone so much more quickly. But I'm not really sure where to go from here anyway.
'Cause I've been here before/ But somehow it doesn't feel the same/
It's not like Hubb and I haven't had falling outs before. It's just...it was almost always about Cheza and now...it's about them.
Talk is cheap, so we could talk all night long/
We'd had it all worked out after we left Jagura's keep.
We may never figure out just where our love went wrong/
That was, until we found that nice little town. Hubb wanted to stay. I wanted to follow the wolves. So now we're at odds once more.
I don't wanna be standin' here/ And I don't wanna be talkin' here/
Sitting here talking to this older lady is definitely not where I want to be. The wolves are in town somewhere. I know because Toboe is sprawled at my feet, fast asleep. I'm learning slowly, so much about them.
And I don't really care who's to blame/
What does it matter whose fault it is? Isn't there some compromise?
'Cause if love won't fly on its own free will/ It's gonna catch that outbound plane/
I suppose I shouldn't have run off so quickly. But I was upset and didn't want to deal with him right then. The wolves travel slow enough for Cheza, so I can keep up myself.
The old folks say love's not forever anymore/ Because these young people walk away/
I'd have been better off staying and trying to work things out I guess. We've been through this so many times before.
From love alone, to pace the floor/ Young or old I say that love is still the same/
That first night, I couldn't be still, pacing here and there. Blue didn't seem to understand. She asked me if I loved him. When I said yes, she asked why I left. I didn't answer her right away.
And you may walk away from love/ But you'll fall head and heel again/
Finally I told her I was angry with him. That confused her further. After a few moments she told me I should cool off and go back. I cooled off all right, but going back means leaving them....
I don't wanna be standin' here/ And I don't wanna be talkin' here/
I have the feeling she's right. I need to go back, to talk to him. This whole mess needs straightened out. He's not coming, at least I don't think so. And I'm not sure I can make it back alone anyway. The wolves could do it in about a day and a half, I'd bet. With Cheza and myself, it took four.
And I don't care really care who's to blame/ 'Cause if love won't fly on its own free will/ It's gonna catch that outbound plane/
I guess it's both our faults. And I can't help but wonder why this sort of thing always comes between us. But I don't want to leave yet.
Two lonely hearts in this airport knowing/ Neither cares where that other heart is going/
Here we are, miles apart, in two different towns. I can't decide, whether to go back or continue on. If only I knew how he feels, what he's thinking, it would help.
But if love won't fly on it's own free will/ It's gonna catch that outbound plane/
No matter what, Hige refuses to leave Blue. Every situation, no matter how bad, he's right there by her side. And she stays by his. If only people could be like that.
That crown you're wearin'/ Is just your halo turned upside down/
What just went through my head suddenly hits home hard. If only people could be that way. Who am I to talk? Hubb may have upset me, but I'm the one that left. Still, he let me go.
Where is the laughter we once shared/ Back in the lost and found/
I miss him. Blue was right. I should have never left. all the good times we could have...are left back in the last town.
These broken wings are gonna leave me here/ To stand my ground/
So I have a decision to make: go on with the wolves and Cheza, or go back to Hubb by myself. When I think about it, it's not that hard a decision. I want to go, but......
You can have this ticket/ For that lonely plane that's flyin' out/
Suddenly I stand up, disturbing Toboe and the old woman in the process. I konw what I have to do. I say good-bye to her and walk to the city limits. Just before I get there, Toboe slips past me.
I don't wanna be standin' here/ And I don't wanna be talkin' here/
To my surprise, he joins the other four and Cheza, all standing at the edge of town. As I walk up, Blue steps forward. "You're going back."
And I don't really care who's to blame/
"Yes. I am." She smiles, then looks to each of the others, who all nod in turn.
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will/
"That's how it should be. We'll go with you." They all smile at me, and I can't help but smile back. "Thank you." None of them say a word, just start back the way we came. I'm sorry Hubb, and I'm coming. This time, we will work things out.
It's gonna catch that outbound plane......
Chaos: So, what'd ya think? Kinda thinkin' in song style right now, so there shall be a fair number of Wolf's Rain songfics coming from my direction. CULater!
