Skywriting Lyrics
Don't cry
All the songs you sing
All the flowers you bring
I'm part of everything there ever was
And will be
Go on
You've got places to be
So many things to see
Don't worry 'bout me I'm already where
I should be
Look up
A 'plane writes in the sky
For every passer-by
No-one ever dies they just write things
In the sky
If you
Want to think about me
Look out above the sea
And you can see that I am doing
Just fine
All the songs you sing
All the flowers you bring
I'm part of everything there ever was
And will be
You've got places to be
So many things to see
Don't worry 'bout me I'm already where
I should be
A 'plane writes in the sky
For every passer-by
No-one ever dies they just write things
In the sky
Want to think about me
Look out above the sea
And you can see that I am doing
Just fine

Says E of this song:
"This was one of those situations where you spend way too much time recording lots of parts for a song only to get rid of everything except the acoustic guitar, celeste, vocal and harmonica in the end. Sometimes you have to go really far in the wrong direction to find the right direction."
The first line is obviously referring to a funeral.
i think the entire song refers to a death, it says, "im ok i want you to be ok too, no matter if im not alive, i'll be there even if i don't exist anymore"

Interesting, the first impression I got from this song is that E was breaking up with a girlfriend. She should "go on" her own way, he'll be fine going in his direction, and that they are breaking up because they are simply going in different ways rather than there being a conflict. Looking out over the sea means that when she thinks of E, look to the sky and know that he's doing fine.
Though I'm sure now by reading comments that it was about death instead.
