Night Flight - Justin Hayward

We were two lonely travelers

In the sky that night

Two lonely travelers, high flying

Alone in the night on an endless flight

Killing time with polite conversation

Killing time in your shy hesitating way

Killing time, killing my isolation

Two lonely travelers breaking ice

By opening up a few old back pages

We were two golden eagles in the sky today

Two golden eagles high flying

Who swept through the air

To a secret lair

Flying free slowly wheeling and gliding

Flying free on the sea and the high plateau

Flying free on the breeze without trying

Two lonely travelers breaking ice

By opening up a few old back pages

And letting secrets out of their cages

But wanting to remain perfect strangers

'Cos I was on a night flight

Floating above the world

Yes it was the moonlight

Painting the wings in pearl

High above the clouds

High above the world

Yes I was on a night flight

Lost in a different world

I can see the starlight

Silver a gypsy girl

High above the clouds

High above the world

We were two lonely travelers

In the sky that night

Two lonely travelers, high flying

Alone in the night on an endless flight

Killing time with polite conversation

Killing time in your shy hesitating way

Killing time, killing my isolation

Two lonely travelers breaking ice

By opening up a few old back pages

And letting secrets out of their cages

But wanting to remain perfect strangers

'Cos I was on a night flight

Floating above the world

Yes it was the moonlight

Painting the wings in pearl

High above the clouds

High above the world

Yes I was on a night flight

Lost in a different world

I can see the starlight

Silver a gypsy girl

High above the clouds

High above the world

Yes I was on a night flight

Floating above the world

Yes it was the moonlight

Painting the wings in pearl

High above the clouds

High above the world

Yes I was on a night flight

Floating above the world

Yes it was the moonlight

Painting the wings in pearl

High above the clouds

High above the world

Yes I was on a night flight
