Outbound Plane    (1988)

Don't wanna be standing here with this ticket for this outbound plane
Cause, I've been here before
Somehow this doesn't feel the same
Talk is cheap, so we could talk all night long
And we may never figure out just
Where your love went wrong

And I don't wanna be standin' here
And I don't wanna be talkin' here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on its own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

The old folks say that love's not forever anymore because these
Young people walk away from love alone to pace the floor
Young or old I say that love is still the same
And you may walk away from love but
You'll fall head and heel again

I don't wanna be standin' here
And I don't wanna be talkin' here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on its own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

Two lonely hearts in this airport knowing
Neither cares where that other heart is going
But, if love won't fly on its own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

That frown you're wearing's just you're halo turned upside down
Where is the laughter we once shared back in the lost and found?
These broken wings are gonna leave me here to stand my ground
And you can have this ticket for that lonely plane that's flying out

I don't wanna be standin' here
And I don't wanna be talkin' here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on its own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

'Cause if love won't fly on its own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane
