I was driving out to meet you that night
getting reports on the weather
you were coming home, had caught the last flight
but we would soon be together
you'd been gone such a long time
when my radio gave the warning
Chorus:
chaos at the airport tonight, something ain' t right
no-one can land in the weather
planes are crashing out of control
and all in all i think you've lost him forever
Looking up i started searching the skies
was he still up there above me
was the man who'd waved a million goodbyes
now just a stranger who loved me
but as i drove to the terminal sign
i heard a great loud explosion
Chorus
I ran so, so fast but if i could only reach you
but you're so far away, you're oh so far away
landing lights approaching
out from a sea of darkness
but you're so far away, you're oh so far away
Like a bird of death it hovered around
until the wheels started turning
then i saw the jets just touching the ground
and i could see it recurring
and as i looked for the last time
my radio gave the warning
