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.

Planes are crashing out of control.

And all in all I think you've lost him forever. [End of A.]

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.
