(Nanci Griffith - Tom Russell) |
|
I don't want to be standing here |
|
With this ticket for this outbound plane |
|
Oh, I've been here before |
|
Somehow this doesn't feel the same |
|
Talk is cheap |
|
So we could talk all night long |
|
And we may never figure out just where your love went wrong |
|
Chorus |
|
cause I don't want to be standing here |
|
Don't want to be talking here |
|
And I don't really care who's to blame |
|
cause if love won't fly on its own free will |
|
It's gonna catch that outbound plane |
|
The old folks say |
|
Love is not forever anymore |
|
Because these young people walk away from love alone |
|
To pace the floor |
|
Young or old |
|
I say that love is still the same |
|
You may walk away from love but you'll fall head and heel again |
|
Chorus |
|
Two lonely hearts in this airport knowing |
|
Neither cares where that other heart is going |
|
But, if love won't fly on its own free will |
|
It's gonna catch that outbound plane |
|
That frown you're wearing's |
|
Just your halo turned upside down |
|
Where is the laughter we once shared back in the lost and found? |
|
These broken wings are gonna leave me here to stand my ground |
|
You can have this ticket for that lonely plane that's flying out |
|
Chorus |
