Runway Lights

(album: Premonition - 1981)

Fly above the hills and valleys
High above the streets and alleys
On a home bound flight I carry
Love enough for one
My emotions overflowing
Anticipation growing
And the moment still not knowing
Seems to weigh a ton

And those scenarios
They spin in my mind
They drift, like the clouds
They sail through the night

And when I see those runway lights
In the town that I was born
I say a silent prayer you'll still be there
And as my plane is touching down
Will I still belong in the arms that held my life
Or have I stayed away to long

I see your face in midnight driftings
By my side I hear your heartbeat
Closer still I hold your memory
Precious in my mind

In the life that I've been chasing
So much times been wasted
I know I could be tasting
The love I left behind

And those scenarios
They spin in my mind
They drift, like the clouds
They sail through the night

And when I see those runway lights
In the town that I was born
I say a silent prayer you'll still be there
And as my plane is touching down
Will I still belong in the arms that held my life
Or have I stayed away to long

And those scenarios
They spin in my mind.....

And when I see those runway lights
In the town that I was born
I say a silent prayer you'll still be there
And as my plane is touching down
Will I still belong in the arms that held my life
Or have I stayed away to long
