EMOTIONAL AT AIRPORTS
(full version)

Paris, New York, London, Rome
Tokyo, Moscow, Glasgow, home

I get emotional at airports
Hope against hope you might be there
But ever since you boarded that plane
I knew I'd never see you again

Take a trip, fly out to wherever,
Leave behind all the troubles at home
Jetting off for business or pleasure
You always knew you were bound to roam...

Paris, New York, London, Rome
Tokyo, Moscow, Glasgow, home

I get emotional at airports
Hope against hope you might be there
But ever since you boarded that plane
I knew I'd never see you again
I stand in line, another arrival
No-one to meet me, nobody there
Across the world we fight for survival
Somebody somewhere pays the fare...

Paris, New York, London, Rome
Tokyo, Moscow, Glasgow, home

I get emotional at airports
Hope against hope you might be there
But ever since you boarded that plane
I knew I'd never see you again

I died inside the day you were sent your
ticket to ride, a one-way haul
You disappeared, the last great adventure
Into the sunset, after the call (final call...)

Paris, New York, London, Rome
Tokyo, Moscow, Glasgow, home

cheerio, addio - let's go home
