Runway Lights

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

( * Repeat )

( ** Repeat )

And those scenarios

They spin in my mind.....

( ** Repeat )
