night flyer

John Mayall

Lying awake in the darkness
Your voice is sad in my ear
Now that i ve just put the phone down
How do you expect me to sleep with you so far away?
I m calling the desk for a taxi
The night is so black with the rain
All of my friends are still sleeping
They would never know i was planning to be gone again
I m the night flyer, i m waiting
Somebody get me a plane
Airports at night always empty
I smoke too much sitting here
I m coming home to you darling
Out of the darkness till day
Though you will tell me i m crazy
How do you expect me to sleep with you so far away?
