38 Planes (Reprise) / Somewhere In The Middle Of Nowhere Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein

Come From Away (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2017

[BEVERLEY, spoken]
The winds start to pick up - fifty mile an hour winds! We've been here too long
We're still on the ground, there's a hurricane coming, and I'm thinking, "We're running out of time!"
We have to leave - we have to leave now
[COMPANY, sung]
One plane then another, and then nine planes, then another and then thirteen planes and another, (thirteen planes) and another (thirteen planes)
Twenty-two, twenty-four, twenty-nine, thirty-two, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty-eight planes
[BEVERLEY]
Ladies and gentlemen, if you look out your windows, underneath all that rain is Maine. We've just crossed the Canadian border, welcome back to the U S of A!
[BOB]
Lookin' out the window at the world underneath
[DIANE]
And though he's here next to me, any second he'll go
[KEVIN J]
Lookin' out the window
[KEVIN T]
Kevin, talk to me please!
[HANNAH]
And out the window we see...
[COMPANY]
A place we all know below!
[BOB, spoken]
Is this on? Oh, it's on. Sorry, everyone. Hi!
(sung)
Like most everyone, I am sorry saying goodbye
So I wanted to thank them for all that they did, so I'm doing just that! And I'm passing a hat! For the people who gave up their time and they gave up their town so let's give them a scholarship! Pass the hat down! 'Cause...
[COMPANY]
Somewhere, in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of who knows where (who knows where)
There you'll find...
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air
You found your heart, but left a part of you behind
[DIANNE, spoken]
Nick and I sit together and I just, I wanna say something but we're leaving, and it's over...
[NICK]
And then she starts crying, and I don't know what to say, so I just put my arm around her and I go to kiss her on the forehead, to comfort her
[DIANE]
Well, there was some turbulence and honestly I just thought he missed so I...
[BEVERLEY, sung]
Ladies and gentleman, if you look out your windows, you won't wanna miss this - we just entered Texas!
[COMPANY]
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of who knows where, there you'll find
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air
You found your heart and left a part of you behind
[JOEY]
Everyone's drinking and comparing stories
[DELORES]
Where'd you stay? What'd you do?
[DIANE]
But mostly Nick and I spent the plane ride home canoodling in the back
[NICK]
At one point a flight attendant comes around saying...
[FLIGHT ATTENDANT]
Hot towel? Hot towel?... Cold towel?
[COMPANY, sung]
Somewhere in between the pace of life and work and where you're going
Something makes you stop and notice and you're finally in the moment!
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of who knows where (who knows where)
There you'll find
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air
You found your heart, but left a part of you behind
[BEVERLEY & (COMPANY)]
Ladies and gentleman put your seat-backs and tray tables up
Right below us is the city where I grew up
Coming 'round past the field, then the wheels touch the ground (Home, America, home in America)
Taxi-ing, we're all cheering, we're down (Home, America, home in America)
Thanking everyone, thank you for flying American (Home, America, home in America)
Hugging them, hugging my crew, 'cause we're home again (Home, America, home in America)
Past the gate, up the stairs, and we're there!
And he's waitin' in line
No I'm fine, Tom, I'm fine...
