Libby - From Another Passenger - 1976

                 
If all our flights are grounded
                    
Libby, we'll go to Paris
      
And dance along the boulevards
                       
And have no one to embarrass

Puttin' on the Ritz in style
                  
With an Arab and an heiress
                 
Libby, we'll fly anyway
                  
And leave behind our blues
                  
Half sung melodies
                   
We'll trade them all in
          
For a Paris breeze
                 
Libby, we'll fly

  


See how dark the circles grow
                       
In a town that has no light
                 
So many eyes just staring out
                 
Into the bloodshot night

                           
And Libby, I hate to see you cry
    
And I
                          
Want to share it all with you
                               
And if it brings us to our knees
                         
We'll trade it all in for a Paris breeze
               
Libby, we'll fly 

                   
They say it don't come easy
          
And they say that love is blind
     
If you're afraid to be close
                    
Then love is hard to find
             
And if you spend too much time winning love
                   
There's no time to be kind
                
And Libby, I'm guilty of your crimes

                 
I'm just another passenger
                     
Travelling on these crazy high seas
          
Very likely be the same
        
In a Paris breeze
          
Libby, we'll fly away

  


                 
If all our flights are grounded
                    
Libby, we'll go to Paris
                    
And wish we were back home again
       
Or sailing on the ocean
          
Just a window and a drink
                    
To set our dreams in motion
                          
But Libby, we'll fly anyway, hey
                
And leave our blues
           
Half sung melodies
                      
Trade them all in for a Paris breeze
                               
Libby, we'll fly............
