L.A. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (Original Lyrics)

|
|
|
|
Standing in that silent hall; Waitin' for that final call
|
Says he doesn't love me anymore
|
Shakin' hands, I pack a bag; Tremblin' voice, I call a cab
|
Slowly I start walkin' to the door;
|
|
|
The cab arrives, he blows his horn
|
I stumble out in the early morn'
|
Tell him of the place I've got to go
|
Hit a hundred signal lights; Peterbilts in a traffic fight
|
Gettin' through these doors has been so slow. ...
|
|
|
CHORUS:
|
|
L.A. International Airport
|
Where the big jet engines roar
|
L.A. International Airport
|
I won't see him anymore.
|
|
|
Stewardess in a mini-skirt; Hippie in a leather shirt
|
Starlet on her way to Naples, Rome
|
While I'm wonderin' where it's at; I see a Paris diplomat
|
College kids are tryin' to get back home;
|
|
|
Baggage car goes quickly by; See my case and I start to cry
|
Stumble to the lounge to be alone
|
And while I'm tryin' to get some rest; I bite my lips and try my best
|
To fight the pain that's makin' me leave home.
|
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
With silver wings across the sky; Vapor trails that wave goodbye
|
To those below who've got to stay at home
|
I wish that I had flown at night; So I could take that Champagne flight
|
Rid myself of every tear I own;
|
|
|
Soaring high above the heavens; In a seven-forty-seven
|
Fighting back the tears that curse my eyes
|
Captain's voice so loud and clear; Amplifies into my ear
|
Assuring me I'm flying friendly skies.
|
|
|
