Fly From Here, Part II: Sad Night at the Airfield Songtext
von Yes

There are no ground staff in the empty corridors
There′s no one sleeping
No one awake
I'd start an engine in the night if only just to break the silence
That last intake

Of air
That clouds in the night as we breathe
Too late
For even the night planes to leave

We can wait for dawn
To carry on
Then we can fly from here

I want to be the one who always gives you shelter
Finds a way to
Keep you warm
I want to be the one who′s always there beside you
But we both must
Face the dawn


Alone
So cruel like the world that we leave
Too late
For even the night planes to leave

We can wait for dawn
To carry on
Then we can fly from here

Only ghosts are in the empty corridors
They're all strangers
Who never cared
I know them from some other life when things were different
And we both were
In the air

Turn yourself around (turn yourself around)
Turn your life around (turn your life around)
Turn your world around (turn your world around)
Turn this ship around (turn this ship around)

So turn the wheel around
I watch the sky
All defences down
I watch the sky
I watch the sky
