Lyrics
The traffic at this hour is so thick
That he’s afraid he might be late;
Her flighty arrives at seven ten,
And he remembers how she hates to wait;
And he remembers losing her
And begging her to give him time to change;
Now the time has come and his mind is numb,
‘Cause his final chance is coming on that plane.

CHORUS
That plane, settling into the heavy city haze,
And she remembers guilty nights
And baby-please-forgive-me days;
That plane, screaming loud as the pain they both feel,
As she slowly unfastens her belt and he clutches the wheel.

She fastens up her seat belt,
And nervously she finishes her drink;
An all-night flight from L.A.
Can give a woman too much time to think;
And she hopes that he’ll be different,
But she knows deep in her heart, he’ll be the same;
And she wonders if the stewardess would be kind enough
To just let her stay on that plane.

CHORUS

He’s one mile from the airport,
Traffic’s backed up all along the lane;
She waits five minutes, takes a breath,
Turns around and gets back on that plane;
She can ride it through to Denver,
She’s got a friend there, they can spend a little time;
‘Cause she knew he’d never be there,
And he knows she never was the waiting kind.

CHORUS
