Early one morning in April
It was early morning, on sunny spring day in April; Heathrow Airport
London was very busy. I was sitting, reading a newspaper in the Departure
Lounge of Terminal One.
I was nervous I would fly. I looked at my watch impatiently. Then I heard
the announcement over the loudspeaker: British Airways announce the departure
of Flight BE570 for Istanbul. Will passengers please proceed to Gate 16 for
boarding.
Hearing that announcement, I picked up my suitcase and walked toward
Gate 16. Twenty minute later, the plane taxied, preparing to leave. It moved
slowly across the airport to runway number two. I was sitting looking out of the
window.
The plane suddenly moved forward, raced down the runway and rose into
the air. I looked down at the houses and roads far below. I was smiling. London
was behind me. I was on my way to Istanbul.
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me.
And no one knows, how far it goes.
If the wind in my sail on the se stays behind me
One day I’II know, if I go there’s just no telling
How far I’II go.
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It’s calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes.
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I’II know, how far I’II go.
