Something's Missing

So
 So
 So you'll call?
 As soon as I get back
 And then he left
 And then I was alone
 Back to the way that things were
 Back to the simple and plain
 For five days the weather had been so nice
 But as they boarded, it started to rain
 Beulah]
 ♪
 At the end of the day
 Everyone left
 We all tried to go back to normal, except
 The town was more quiet and
 Somehow far emptier
 We all looked the same
 But we're different than we were
 The gym was a sight
 As I staked the last cot
 Thank-you's written everywhere
 And things they forgot
 The board of health says
 Clean it up - every part
 So we start
 7: 42 a.m
 Sunday
 September 16th
 After five days, they just ran
 The zamboni over the ice
 And played hockey
 With the Plane People gone
 Gander Town Council declares the
 State of emergency over and I head home
 We were all exhausted - just spent
 Most of us had been up for
 Five days straight working
 But somehow I can't sleep
 So I sit down and turn on the television
 And I just start crying
 I hadn't let myself cry the whole time
 Something's gone
 Out the airplane window, I can see Manhattan
 And there's still smoke
 And suddenly I'm afraid all over again
 And there are others afraid too
 Something's over
 I know Newark airport
 You could pull a truck over on the side
 Of the turnpike
 And shoot a grenade launcher
 At a plane coming in
 Something's done
 But nothing happens
 I drive Kevin back to his place
 We don't say much
 Something's missing
 I go straight to his firehouse
 Part of me wondered if they
 Just weren't telling me
 But... they still don't know
 Something's changed
 My flat is the same as I left it
 But emptier
 Quieter
 I start to unpack
 And I find the camera
 Something's rearranged
 On the way to my restaurant
 I drop my daughter at school
 But she won't go in
 She says she's scared
 What do I tell her?
 Something's strained
 Back at my dad's house
 I look out the window
 At this view I've looked at my whole life
 And now a part of it
 Something's missing
 Something's missing
 Kevin breaks up with me
 And then he quits and moves back home to New York
 And I miss him
 I miss his jokes
 Something's lost
 Nick and I call each other when we can
 But... it's awful
 The only reason we met was because
 This terrible thing happened
 Something's cost
 I go down to Ground Zero
 Which is like the end of the world
 It's literally still burning
 Something's not
 My dad asks
 "Were you okay where you were stranded?"
 How do I tell him that I wasn't just okay
 I was so much better
 Something's missing
 
 I phone American and say
 "I'm ready to go wherever you want to send me."
 But they say take a few days off
 I phone every day and I am back at the airport on Thursday
 And it's empty. Silent
 It's just - a different place
 And I stop what few passengers there are and I say
 "Thank you for still flying."
 Hello
 You've reached Gander Academy
 This is Beulah Davis
 How can I help you?
 ...He's gone
 It's over
 ...Oh, no. I'm so sorry, Hannah
 I'm so sorry
 You are here
 At the end of a moment
 At the end of the world
 You are here
 On the edge of the ocean
 Where the story ends
 Where the river meets the sea
 Here
 Something's gone
 Something's over
 Across the Atlantic
 At the office
 In an airport
 In my house
 On an island
 Something's rearranged
 In a classroom
 At the station
 In my car
 And wherever you are
 (Something's gone)
 You are here
