Leaving on a Dessert Plane

Leaving on a Desert Plane (tune of "Leaving on a Jet Plane") by Randi and Murray Spiegel, Passover 2000 All our bags are packed, we're ready to go We're standing here outside our doors We dare not wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breakin' this early morn' Moses is waiting, he's blowing his horn We're planning our escape so we won't die You'll miss me, as you will see You've been dealt a harsh decree You held us like you'd never let us go We're leaving from this great strain We pray we won't be back again God knows, can't wait to go. There's so many times you've let us down Your many crimes have plagued our town I tell you now they were all mean things Every place I go, you'll shrink from view, Every song I sing will be 'gainst you I won't be back to wear your ball and chain You'll miss me, as you will see You've been dealt a harsh decree You held us like you'd never let us go We're leaving through a wet plain We hope we won't be back again God knows, can't wait to go. Now the time has come to leave you One more time, let me diss you Close your eyes, we'll be on our way Dream about the days to come When you'll be left here all alone About the time when I won't have to say You'll miss me, as you will see You've been dealt a harsh decree You held us like you'd never let us go We're leaving all our bread grain We know we won't be back again God knows, can't wait to go.
