Peter Hammill - Airport Lyrics
I stand on the tallest buildingand stare down at the grey runwayand the tail-smoke of the Boeing jetthat's taking you so far away. Believe me, I don't want you to leave me; look in my eyes and you'll see them filled with pain. Imagine just how sad I'll be in some future day when I turn and no longer see your face. All I can now cry is goodbye, love, goodbye.In a week, in a month, in a year,in a lifetime how I'll feel none can tell.All I know is now you're goingthere's really no-one here to help. Believe me.Already it's too late, you're through the boarding-gateand walking on the tarmac.Already you are free, already you've left meand cannot bear to look back, can you?A brief taxi on the runway,then up into the stilling night sky;and I'm standing on the observation tower,my eyes too dimmed by distance to cry. Believe me.All I can now do is walk away alone, without you.--------------------------------------------------------------
