                 Night Flight    (Justin Hayward)

                                        
%    We were two lonely travelers in the sky that night
     We were two golden eagles in the sky today
     We were two lonely travelers in the sky that night

                              
     Two lonely travelers high flying
     Two golden eagles high flying
     Two lonely travelers high flying

                             
     Alone in the night on an endless flight
     Who swept through the air to a secret lair
     Alone in the night on an endless flight

                                   
     Killing time with polite conversation
     Flying free slowly wheeling and gliding
     Killing time with polite conversation

                                 
     Killing time in your shy hesitating way
     Flying free on the sea and the high plateau
     Killing time in your shy hesitating way

                                            
     Killing time killing my isolation
     Flying free on the breeze without trying
     Killing time killing my isolation

                          
     Two lonely travelers breaking ice

     And letting secrets out of their cages

                                                      
     But wanting to remain perfect strangers

                                                   
&    Cause I was on a night flight floating above the world

                                                 
     Yes it was the moonlight painting the wings in pearl

                                         
     High above the clouds, high above the world

                                                  
     Yes I was on a night flight lost in a different world

                                         
     I can see the starlight silver a gypsy girl

                                         
     High above the clouds, high above the world  (1)Go %(3)
