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
