Transmission Ends Songtext
von Chris de Burgh

Looking out on a windy sky
Watching seabirds as they fly
On a summer day
On a summer day

And now the sun is here to stay
The winter seems so far away
In the summertime
In the summertime

Sitting here with my love tonight
News is breaking from the south
From the radio, on the radio

Brother lead and sister steel
Are playing out their final scene
On the radio, on the radio

And when you lie beside me, soft and quiet in the night
I often listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat giving life
You are so precious to me, darling
It will always be that way


Until the final act is over
Until every man has spoken
Until every battle′s done
Until the day
Transmission ends
Transmission ends

Waiting up for a show tonight
Coming in via satellite
From America, from America

Whispers from some far-off place
Are drifting into outer space
From America, from America

And when I see a shooting star go flashing in the night
I often wonder if some other beings also see the light
And are they picking up our signals
As they spin of into space

Until the final act is over
Until every man has spoken
Until every summer's gone
Until every battle′s done
Until the day
Transmission ends
Transmission ends


(Aa-ah, don't let it happen
Aa-ah, don't let it happen
Darling, darling, darling)

I′m always going to love you
Yes, I′m always going to love you
Darling, always going to love you
Until the final day
Until the final hour

I'm always going to be with you
Yes, I′m always going to be with you
My love always going to be with you
Until the day comes down
The man is on the radio

"This is station planet Earth, we're closing down
Transmission ends
Station planet Earth is closing down
Transmission ends
Transmission ends"
