Christmas at the Airport
Nick Lowe
[Intro]
[Verse]
Outside the taxi window
On the way to catch my flight
I noticed snowflakes playing
In the ever failing light
When you dropped me at departures
It was really coming down
Deep and crisp and even
And it settled on the ground
It looks like Christmas, Christmas at the airport
All the planes are grounded
And the fog is rolling in
It looks like Christmas, Christmas at the
airport this year
Doors are locked and bolted
Let the festivities begin
The terminal was seething
Without much Christmas cheer
So I found an empty closet
And bedded down in there
When I woke much later
I was really quite alone
Checkin was deserted
Everyone had gone
It looks like Christmas, Christmas
at the airport
I took a set of X rays
and they came out very well
It looks like Christmas, Christmas
at the airport this year
Now I m doing Santa s sleigh ride
on the baggage carousel
It looks like Christmas, Christmas at the airport
I should be at the table
with all my kith and kin
It looks like Christmas, Christmas
at the airport this year
Don t save me any turkey
I found a burger in a bin
