Christmas at the Airport

Song Christmas at the Airport
Artist Nick Lowe
Album Quality Street

Lyrics

Outside the taxi window
on the way to catch my flight
i noticed snowflakes playing
in the ever failing light
when you dropped me at departures
i was really coming down
deep and crisp beneath
and it settled on the ground
it looks like christmas, christmas at the airport
all the planes are grounded
and the fog is rolling in
it looks like christmas, christmas at the airport
this year
doors are locked and bolted
let the festivities begin
the terminal was seething
without much christmas cheer
so i found an empty closet
and bedded down in there
when i woke much later
i was quite alone
checkin was deserted
everyone had gone
it looks like christmas, christmas at the airport
i took a set of xrays and they came out very well
it looks like christmas, christmas at the airport this year
now i'm doing santas sleighride on the baggage carussel
it looks like christmas, christmas at the airport
i should be at the table with all my kith and kin
it looks like christmas, christmas at the airport this year
dont save me any turkey i found a burger in a bin
