| Searchlights, rain on the road
|
| Waiting for the airport limousine
|
| Your time in this foreign land
|
| Is nearly over, I’ll never forget how
|
| Last night, after he called
|
| You held me like you’d never let me go
|
| But your eyes are happy now
|
| And you are beautiful, you’re ready to leave me
|
| Homeward, back to your world
|
| Back to the one who is there
|
| Go now, but go in love
|
| For it’s the only way;
|
| And you’ll be crying, laughing
|
| Half a world away
|
| You’ll be crying, laughing
|
| For the love we have
|
| When you go away…
|
| Long ride, holding her hand
|
| Looking all the words we cannot speak
|
| One mile to the boulevard
|
| And the aeroplane that’s waiting to take you
|
| Homeward, back to your land
|
| Back to the one who is there
|
| Go now, but go in love
|
| For it’s the only way
|
| And you’ll be crying, laughing
|
| Half a world away
|
| You’ll be crying, laughing
|
| For the love we have
|
| But you must go
|
| Crying, laughing
|
| Half a world away
|
| You’ll be crying, laughing
|
| Don’t forget me love
|
| When you go away… |
