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.
A. Chaos at the airport tonight, somthing 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. [End of A.]
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.
[Repeat A.]
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 wheel 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 me the warning.
