It's been a long time
since I've been
Flight 89 North American
and it feels like the ocean's caving in
can't wait to get back on the ground again
you gave up
and they sucked you in
and I scream out
my problems are behind me
and I just can't find the words to say
that I'm leaving
it's been a long time
since I've been
Flight 89 North American
and it feels like the ocean's caving in
what a fine time it has been
waiting by the coastline
for my ship to come in
you only get what you put in
can't wait to get back on the ground again
You gave up
and they sucked you in
and I scream out
my problems are behind me
and I just can't find the words to say
that I'm leaving
and it feels like burdens are to heavy
and I just can't find the words to say
that I'm leaving
and I scream out
my problems are behind me
and I just can't find the words to say
that I'm leaving
and it feels like the burdens are to heavy
and I just can't find the words to say
that I'm leavingNights in white satin, never reaching the end
Letters I've written, never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed, with these eyes before
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you, yes I love you, oh, how I love you
Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through, they can't understand
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be you will be in the end
And I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end
Letters I've written, never meaning to send
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you
'Cause I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you
{Epilogue, spoken}
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsetter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy's spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
