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
