peter hammill - airport lyrics

i stand on the tallest building
and stare down at the grey runway
and the tail-smoke of the boeing jet
that’s taking you so far away.
believe me, i don’t want you to leave me;
look in my eyes and you’ll see them
filled with pain.
imagine just how sad i’ll be
in some future day when i turn
and no longer see your face.
all i can now cry is goodbye, love, goodbye.
in a week, in a month, in a year,
in a lifetime how i’ll feel none can tell.
all i know is now you’re going
there’s really no-one here to help.
believe me.
already it’s too late, you’re through the boarding-gate
and walking on the tarmac.
already you are free, already you’ve left me
and cannot bear to look back,
can you?
a brief taxi on the runway,
then up into the stilling night sky;
and i’m standing on the observation tower,
my eyes too dimmed by distance to cry.
believe me.
all i can now do is walk away alone,
without you.
