Travel

My legs were slowly shaking

As I headed for the door

My heart was banging loudly

My jaw down on the floor

Luggage in my left hand

Passport in my right

Going to the airport

And I ain't feeling right

Terrified of aeroplanes

What am I gonna do

But this is something I can't miss

If I want to be with you

Walking through the airport

I started feeling weak

My lips were gently trembling

And I could barely speak

I look out through the window

And see his massive plane

What am I doing to myself

I'm sure I've gone insane

I sit down on the aeroplane

Safety belt locked tight

Engines started roaring

This give me such a fright

Up above the big white clouds

I kinda felt quite good

I thought I'd travel all the time

If I knew that I could

When it was finally over

And I stepped out onto earth

Everything was beautiful

Sun and sea and surf

The aeroplane experience

Is one that I will treasure

Travelling strangely through the sky

Will stay with me for ever.
