There are planes coming in
And there's planes going out
One piece of luggage
Goes around and around
A lady cleans the floors
A night guard checks his watch,
There's two lonely faces
And one of them's the clock
CHORUS
What crumbs of joy can I steal from this day
She didn't have the time to call me and say,
If the things I'd heard were valid and true
I've got everything in the world but you
Everything in the world but you
I drive against traffic
People race in to work,
I've got this expression
That I know I deserve
The key slides in the lock
Who's been here in my bed
Who's been drinking coffee
What's this paper and pen
CHORUS
My nerves are ripped to shreds
The phone rings on the floor,
But I can't pick it up
I can't take any more
There are planes flying in
And there are planes flying out
I look up to the sky
And I'm left in no doubt
CHORUS
