Last Flight

Lyrics

[Chorus] My dear parents, goodbye I do love you, but I Have to give it a try, a try Oh, my thinking is sound After I've been around I should be homeward-bound Homeward-bound [Verse 1] It's Thursday, five o'clock in the morning And I've packed a little bag I'm tiptoeing through the apartment And holding my breath, like the nights When I came home after midnight So that Mother wouldn't wake up Last evening, at dinner I thought for a moment that she suspected something She said I looked pale She wanted to know if I felt all right I told hеr that I was fine, but just fine I think she madе believe that she believed me And Father just smiled [Non-Lyrical Vocals] [Verse 2] It's strange I thought that leaving home would be tougher More overwhelming Like a big adventure But less heart-tearing But I mustn't look back Get a little bit farther There's a railroad station And after the train, the boat The Atlantic Ocean And after the Atlantic Ocean [Instrumental bridge] [Verse 3] I feel strange Like if I had a cage around my chest It nearest stops my breathing I wonder if my folks In a little while Will know that I'm crying No, I must not look back Or even turn my head around I must only see what I told myself I should see And why, and why, and how [Verse 4] It's five to seven now I'm falling asleep on the train That's taking me to the boat, away A little bit further, a little bit more And I won't look back I dare not look back [Chorus] My dear parents, goodbye I do love you, but I Have to give it a try, a try Oh, my thinking is sound After I've been around I should be homeward-bound Homeward-bound [Coda]
