1. Please, Mr Pilot

PLEASE, MR PILOT

At the airport, 4 am, and I’m waiting for the plane.

Cold and raining, dark outside: it’s time to leave this place.

It’s all over, time to go, my journey has begun.

I’m going back now to the place that I call my home.

So, please, Mr Pilot, fly me home:

I’ve been away for far too long.

I’ve had the joy that travel brings;

I’ve seen extraordinary things.

Mr Pilot, Mr Pilot, Mr Pilot, fly me home.

Got some coffee, pass the time as the airport comes to life.

A yellow message: those far off places are now all memories.

Now I go to board the aircraft apprehensively.

Hear the engines; feel the power as the tension is released.

So, please, Mr Pilot, fly me home .....

Please, Mr Pilot fly me home. Fly me home.

Mr Pilot, Mr Pilot, Mr Pilot, fly me home.
