| A hundred thousand hearts a day |
| Are vacuumed in along these runways |
| In specks of iron from around the world |
| Drawn to the magnetism in this place |
| I’ve watched them land in the Heathrow haze |
| Through 'Nothing to Declare' into cars that speed away |
| I’m watching the aeroplanes comin' in Waiting for a miracle |
| Watching the aeroplanes comin' in Wonderin' if I’ll see you again |
| Wonder if I’ll see you again |
| I understand how you had to leave |
| You said 'back soon' and I must believe |
| My feelings haven’t changed since that fateful day |
| You left me grounded and you flew away |
| Over my house into the clouds |
| To foreign lands in the sunshine |
| I watch the seven forty sevens climb |
| Over my house into the clouds |
| To foreign lands in the sunshine |
| I wave bye bye, bye bye, |
| A hundred thousand hearts a day |
| Come gliding down but they don’t explain |
| An empty seat on a sold out flight |
| A year ago on an empty night |
| I watched you down but you never came |
| Through 'Nothing to Declare' like a sign hangin' on my name |
| I’m watching the aeroplanes comin' in Waiting for a miracle |
| Watching the aeroplanes |
| Wonderin' if I’ll see you… Again |
| Over my house |
| My house |
