Sitting in the terminal, staring into space
glass of wine in my hand, not feeling out of place
journey that I’m facing will be longer than the last
will she still be waiting, or has it finally passed

back to the beginning how will I react
to the changes that I’ll find there is anything intact
to the memories I long for to the friends that I once knew
to the golden sands, the sunny skies and the sea that was so blue

life was so much simpler didn’t have no stress nor strains
no such thing as heartache and no such thing as pain
a throw of the ball, a swim in the sea an ice cream at the beach
a can of juice, a kiss goodnight that’s all we had to seek

the thoughts are all flooding back of how it used to be
the love that I first felt and what she did for me
the feeling of exuberance, that lasted through the night
until all my sleep wore off and in came the morning light

the engine noise roars again and makes my body jump
the feeling of coming down allows my heart to thump
the journey that I started will soon be at an end
the realities of where I go and what’s around the bend

the face that I’ve been looking for is staring straight at me
the voice, the eyes, the mouth, the nose is all where they should be
the only part that’s missing is the soul that I once loved
because of that the end must come and all my thoughts removed
