Night Flyer

Lying awake in the darkness

Your voice is sad in my ear

Now that I've just put the phone down

How do you expect me to sleep with you so far away?

I'm calling the desk for a taxi

The night is so black with the rain

All of my friends are still sleeping

They would never know I was planning to be gone again

I'm the night flyer, I'm waiting

Somebody get me a plane

Airports at night always empty

I smoke too much sitting here

I'm coming home to you darling

Out of the darkness till day

Though you will tell me I'm crazy

How do you expect me to sleep with you so far away?
