James MacMillan - The Airplane Song lyrics

She's a strawberry milkshake She's as sweet as a peach, but she's ice cold She never told me, she was leaving She left on a friday I went out for the day, and she left for the year She never told me she was leaving So get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away She's so extraordinary, she left last january And that's the reason I miss you so She's a messy creation She hit the road, but the road hit back Nobody told me, you're an island I will wait for a lifetime I've been counting the days, since you left one way Nobody reaches her island So get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away She's so extraordinary, she left last january And thats the reason I miss you so So give me a chance, I want you to know I won't love you and leave you, and then let you go I need to sort myself, can somebody show me the way And nobody knows the way Nobody know the way Nobody know the way Nobody knows the way Nobody knows You gotta give me a chance, and say you'll come home I won't love you and leave you, and then let you go You're always hard on yourself, nobody knows the way And nobody knows the way And nobody knows the way And nobody knows the way And nobody knows the way Nobody knows the right way So get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away She's so extraordinary, she left last january And thats the reason I miss you so
