Searchlights, rain on the road,
Waiting for the airport limousine,
Your time in this foreign land,
Is nearly over, Ill never forget how

Last night, after he called,
You held me like youd never let me go,
But your eyes are happy now,
And you are beautiful, youre ready to leave me,

Homeward, back to your world,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For its the only way;

And youll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
Youll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
When you go away...

Long ride, holding her hand,
Looking all the words we cannot speak,
One mile to the boulevard,
And the aeroplane thats waiting to take you

Homeward, back to your land,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For its the only way,

And youll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
Youll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
But you must go,
Crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
Youll be crying, laughing,
Dont forget me love,
When you go away...
