Lyrics

She could not turn and walk away
She stood on the observation deck, motionless
And watched the silver bird taxi
Toward the runway

As grey smoke streaked the amber sky
She touched her fingertips to the glass
As if to touch him one last time

She drove the long highway home
To an empty trailer, to an empty life
She hugged the pillow
The scent of love still fresh in the bed
And cried herself to sleep

There is enchantment
In a love that never died or ended
In a love not fully blossomed
In a love that only had been promised
When I met you I sensed your loneliness
And your hunger

There can be no new beginnings without ends
No chance without a risk
No risk without unfulfillment
Please, go to him if you can't let go of him
Go to him if you can't let go of him
Go to him if you can't let go
Or you'll be forever holding on,
Or worse, holding back

I drove you to the airport
Kissed you as you boarded the plane
I cried for you
For you have made a difference in my life

I could not turn and walk away
I stood on the observation deck, motionless
And watched the silver bird taxi
Toward the runway
