That Plane Lyrics - Dr. Hook

The traffic at this hour is so thick that he's afraid he might be late 

Her flight arrives at seven ten and he remembers 

How the lady hates to wait and he remembers losing her 

And begging her to give him time to change 

Now his mind is numb 'cos the time has come 

His final chance is coming in on that plane 

She fastens up her seat belt 

And nervously she finishes her drink 

An all night flight from L.A. can give a woman 

A little bit too much time to think 

And she hopes deep in her heart 

That he'll be different but she knows he'll be the same 

And she wonders if the stewardess would be 

Kind enough to just let her stay on that plane 

That plane settling in to the heavy city haze 

Where she remembers guilty nights and baby please forgive me days 

As she slowly unfastens her belt and he clutches the wheel 

That plane screaming as loud as the pain that they both feel 

He's one mile from the airport 

Damn traffic's backed up all along the lane 

She waits five minutes takes a breath 

And turns around and gets back on the aeroplane 

She'll ride it through to Denver 

She's got friends there, they could spend a little time 

'Cause she knew he'd never be there 

And he knows she never was the waiting kind 

That plane rising up into the heavy city haze 

Where she remembers guilty nights and baby please forgive me days 

That plane screaming as loud as the pain that they both feel 

As she slowly unfastens her belt and he clutches the wheel
