Lyrics
[verse]
Sitting in the terminal at half past three
Watching all the strangers rushing to be free
Got a ticket in my hand and a heavy heart
Leaving everything I know to make a start
[chorus]
Big silver airliner, carry me home
Take me away from this life I've known
Somewhere down the runway waits a brand new place
Fly me through the clouds at a different pace
[verse]
Left a note behind for the ones I love
Told them I'd be watching from up above
Every mile between us feels like miles of sky
But I'll come back around, I won't say goodbye
[chorus]
Big silver airliner, carry me home
Take me away from this life I've known
Somewhere down the runway waits a brand new place
Fly me through the clouds at a different pace
[bridge]
Engines roaring, wheels are leaving ground
Nothing but the wide blue all around
Wherever this flight decides to land
I'll carry my whole heart in my hand
[chorus]
Big silver airliner, carry me home
Take me away from this life I've known
Somewhere down the runway waits a brand new place
Fly me through the clouds at a different pace
