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
