(Don McGlashan)
The plane touches down
The lounge fills up again
With retired couples from the midwestern USA
They blink in the foreign light
And admire each other`s shoes
I`ve seen a lot of new shoes today
You should have let me know
That you weren`t getting on your flight
You should have called me so I wouldn`t be calling you now
On this line you sound so strange
And I`m running out of change
I`m standing, but it feels like falling...
Ngaire I`m not lying to you
Ngaire I`ve been trying to do right from the start
And if you doubt what`s in my heart you can break it open
But be careful when you do
`cause inside there`s a girl who looks like you
You knew I had to come here
You knew there was no work at home
You said you`d join me when the coast was clear
Now I take the escalator down
I get the bus back into town
I`m as free as the planes up in the air
Is that the sun
That`s rising on you now?
And did it shine
The day you changed your mind?
Oh Ngaire, oh Ngaire
Oh Ngaire I`m not lying to you
Ngaire I`ve been trying to do right from the start
And if you doubt what`s in my heart you can break it open
But be careful when you do
`cause inside there`s a girl who looks like you
inside there`s a girl who looks like you
inside there`s a girl who looks like you
inside there`s a girl who looks like you
inside there`s a girl who looks like you
looks like you
looks like you
