Letra de Taking That Red-Eye Home

Half empty airport, plane's at the gate They tell her it's full, she says she'll wait She's been here all evening sitting all alone Watching the business men talk on the phone She fixes her make up, cleans out her purse Leaving is hard, but staying is worse Just for a moment it crosses her mind She could go back, no not this time It's almost midnight, and they just called her name She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own She's all through crying, now she's flying Taking that red-eye home Sitting in smoking, but she doesn't smoke A traveling salesman tells her a joke She just stares out the window as they're packing that jet Not quite sad, but she's not laughing yet It's almost midnight, and they just called her name She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own She's all through crying, now she's flying Taking that red-eye home It's just eleven fifty-four but it's a new day They're starting to board, she's flying away It's almost midnight, and they just called her name She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own She's all through crying, now she's flying Taking that red-eye home She's all through crying, she's flying Taking that red-eye home
