Night Flight Lyrics - Justin Hayward

We were two lonely travelers 

In the sky that night 

Two lonely travelers, high flying 

Alone in the night on an endless flight 

Killing time with polite conversation 

Killing time in your shy hesitating way 

Killing time, killing my isolation 

Two lonely travelers breaking ice 

By opening up a few old back pages 

We were two golden eagles in the sky today 

Two golden eagles high flying 

Who swept through the air 

To a secret lair 

Flying free, slowly, wheeling and gliding 

Flying free on the sea and the high plateau 

Flying free on the breeze without trying 

Two lonely travelers breaking ice 

By opening up a few old back pages 

And letting secrets out of their cages 

But wanting to remain perfect strangers 

'Cos I was on a night flight, floating above the world 

Yes, it was the moonlight, painting the wings in pearl 

High above the clouds. high above the world 

Yes, I was on a night flight, lost in a different world 

I can see the starlight, silver, a gypsy girl 

High above the clouds, high above the world 

We were two lonely travelers 

In the sky that night 

Two lonely travelers, high flying 

Alone in the night on an endless flight 

Killing time with polite conversation 

Killing time in your shy hesitating way 

Killing time, killing my isolation 

Two lonely travelers breaking ice 

By opening up a few old back pages 

And letting secrets out of their cages 

But wanting to remain perfect strangers 

'Cos I was on a night flight, floating above the world 

Yes, it was the moonlight, painting the wings in pearl 

High above the clouds, high above the world 

Yes, I was on a night flight, lost in a different world 

I can see the starlight, silver, a gypsy girl 

High above the clouds, high above the world 

Yes, I was on a night flight, floating above the world 

Yes, it was the moonlight, painting the wings in pearl 

High above the clouds, high above the world 

Yes, I was on a night flight, floating above the world 

Yes, it was the moonlight, painting the wings in pearl 

High above the clouds, high above the world
