Taking That Red-eye Home Lyrics - Bogguss Suzy

Half empty airport, plane's at the gate 

They tell her it's full, she says she'll wait 

She's been here all evening sitting all alone 

Watching the business men talk on the phone 

She fixes her make up, cleans out her purse 

Leaving is hard, but staying is worse 

Just for a moment it crosses her mind 

She could go back, no not this time 

It's almost midnight, and they just called her name 

She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same 

Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own 

She's all through crying, now she's flying 

Taking that red-eye home 

Sitting in smoking, but she doesn't smoke 

A traveling salesman tells her a joke 

She just stares out the window as they're packing that jet 

Not quite sad, but she's not laughing yet 

It's almost midnight, and they just called her name 

She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same 

Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own 

She's all through crying, now she's flying 

Taking that red-eye home 

It's just eleven fifty-four but it's a new day 

They're starting to board, she's flying away 

It's almost midnight, and they just called her name 

She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same 

Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own 

She's all through crying, now she's flying 

Taking that red-eye home 

She's all through crying, she's flying 

Taking that red-eye home
