lyrics

Flight Number 77

Woke up this morning, moon in my eyes
Head for the airport, head for the skies
Took a taxi to the terminal gate
Jumped out fast I knew I was late
Bumped into her met hollow brown eyes
What she said hit me like ice

Don’t get on flight number 77
You’ll never make it home
Don’t get on flight number 77
You’ll never make it home

How can this be?
How do you know something’ll happen to me?
It’s not my way to turn around
Got no time on that flight I’m bound
She turned away said “It’s up to you
Take that flight it’s the last thing you’ll do”

Don’t get on flight number 77
You’ll never make it home
Don’t get on flight number 77
You’ll never make it home

I pushed on through, I boarded the plane
Rose on through the clouds and the rain
Felt a tingle down to my spine
Couldn’t get those words out of my mind

Don’t get on flight number 77
You’ll never make it home
Don’t get on flight number 77
You’ll never make it home

(Jan Gregor)
