"The Letter" lyrics

"The Letter"

June 9th, Khartoum

We carry a letter
To whom it may concern
Just in case the engines fail and we fall into the Arabian desert

I possess a letter which I myself cannot read
It is addressed to Arab tribesmen
And it explains how and why a woman pilot
Might drop down from the sky onto their land
And it explains what to do if she did drop down
And who to call
Have walking shoes
Have maps
Have extra water
