Lyrics Justin Hayward

Justin Hayward

Night Flight

We were two lonely travelersIn the sky that nightTwo lonely travelers, high flyingAlone in the night on an endless flightKilling time with polite conversationKilling time in your shy hesitating wayKilling time, killing my isolation

Two lonely travelers breaking iceBy opening up a few old back pages

We were two golden eagles in the sky todayTwo golden eagles high flyingWho swept through the airTo a secret lairFlying free slowly wheeling and glidingFlying free on the sea and the high plateauFlying free on the breeze without trying

Two lonely travelers breaking iceBy opening up a few old back pagesAnd letting secrets out of their cagesBut wanting to remain perfect strangers

'Cos I was on a night flightFloating above the worldYes it was the moonlightPainting the wings in pearlHigh above the cloudsHigh above the world

Yes I was on a night flightLost in a different worldI can see the starlightSilver a gypsy girlHigh above the cloudsHigh above the world

We were two lonely travelersIn the sky that nightTwo lonely travelers, high flyingAlone in the night on an endless flightKilling time with polite conversationKilling time in your shy hesitating wayKilling time, killing my isolation

Two lonely travelers breaking iceBy opening up a few old back pagesAnd letting secrets out of their cagesBut wanting to remain perfect strangers

'Cos I was on a night flightFloating above the worldYes it was the moonlightPainting the wings in pearlHigh above the cloudsHigh above the worldYes I was on a night flightLost in a different worldI can see the starlightSilver a gypsy girlHigh above the cloudsHigh above the world

Yes I was on a night flightFloating above the worldYes it was the moonlightPainting the wings in pearlHigh above the cloudsHigh above the world

Yes I was on a night flightFloating above the worldYes it was the moonlightPainting the wings in pearlHigh above the cloudsHigh above the world

Yes I was on a night flight
