Words & Music by Chris de Burgh
S[Em]earchlights, [Esus4]rain on the r[Em]oad,
Wa[Bm]iting for the airport l[Asus4]imousi[-]ne[A],
Yo[C]ur time in this fo[G]reign land,
Is nearly o[Am]ver, I'll ne[B]ver forget how
Last night, after he called,
You held me like you'd never let me go,
But your eyes are happy now,
And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me,
H[C]omewar[D]d, b[B]ack to your wo[Em]rld,
Bac[C]k to the o[D]ne who is t[Em]here,
[C]Go n[D]ow, but [B]go in l[Em]ove,
For it's the[C] only way;
And you'll [D]be [G]cr[-]yi[D]ng, [C]la[-]ug[Em]hing,
Ha[C]lf a w[D]orld a[G]way,
[C]You'll [D]be [G]cr[-]yi[D]ng, [C]la[-]ug[Em]hing,
For the l[C]ove we have[D],
When you go away[Em]...
Long ride, holding her hand,
Looking all the words we cannot speak,
One mile to the boulevard,
And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you
Homeward, back to your land,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For it's the only way,
And you'll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
But you must go,
Crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
Don't forget me love,
When you go away...
