A hundred thousand hearts a day

Are vacuumed in along these runways

In specks of iron from around the world

Drawn to the magnetism in this place

I've watched them land in the Heathrow haze

Through 'Nothing to Declare' into cars that speed away



I'm watching the aeroplanes comin' in

Waiting for a miracle

Watching the aeroplanes comin' in

Wonderin' if I'll see you again

Wonder if I'll see you again



I understand how you had to leave

You said 'back soon' and I must believe

My feelings haven't changed since that fateful day

You left me grounded and you flew away



Over my house into the clouds

To foreign lands in the sunshine

I watch the seven forty sevens climb

Over my house into the clouds

To foreign lands in the sunshine



I wave bye bye, bye bye,



A hundred thousand hearts a day

Come gliding down but they don't explain

An empty seat on a sold out flight

A year ago on an empty night

I watched you down but you never came

Through 'Nothing to Declare' like a sign hangin' on my name



I'm watching the aeroplanes comin' in

Waiting for a miracle

Watching the aeroplanes

Wonderin' if I'll see you... again



Over my house

My house
