Endless Flight

Writers: danny o'keefe

Magdalena sits in her chair
Speaking on the mass
She talks in splice and splinters
She laughs not breaking glass
She said that she would have me
Spirit her away
Stealing all my images
Till there's nothin' left to say

Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

She tells me that she wants me
Then she tells me not to bother
She tells me that i couldn't hold
A candle to her father
She knows that she's got me
When i start to rave about
She'll justsmile and flash her eyes
And blow the candle out

Oh, magdalena
Oh, ho, ho, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

Magdalena lying there
Could make a dancer stumble
Make a preacher bite his tongue
And leave him with a mumble
And if you think i'm crazy babe
Or that i'm kiddin' you
Just pay your dues and lose your blues
When she gets her tongue in you

Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

Well, i can't be forgotten
And i can't be ignored
You find me with my poems
And my songs
But if upon your journey you're turning to l.a.
Won't you take this little red-haired girl aong?

Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

When i need you
I just close my eyes and i'm with you
And all that i so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away

When i need love
I hold out my hands and i touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know i won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out, but hold out, and do i like i do
When i need you
I just close my eyes and i'm with you
And all that i so wanna give you babe
It's only a heartbeat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know i won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like i do
Oh, i need you

When i need love
I hold out my hands and i touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

When i need you
I just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day

I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
And i'm with you darlin'
Yes, i'm with you darlin'
All i wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away
Oh i need you darling

Keep me steady
Don't rock me all around
Lord, i don't wanna fall down
Understand me
I wish this jet was off the ground

Look around you
And tell me what you see
Are you afraid or is it me?
I hope we make it
I hope we don't fall in the sea

And it's gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes it's gonna be an endless flight i know
Like a flyin'bird in the night
The wind is strong but i hope i'm right
An' this will be the end of this endless flight

Make me happy
Just let me see the light
I hope the runway time is near
The look the captain gave
Wasn't comfort and saw fear
Oh, what a fear

And it's gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes it's gonna be an endless flight i know
Like a flyin' bird in the night
The wind is strong but i hope i'm right
An' this will be the end of this endless flight

And it's gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes it's gonna be an endless flight i know
Like a flyin' bird in the night
The wind is strong but i hope i'm right
An' this will be the end of this endless flight

And it's gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes it's gonna be an endless flight i know
Like a flyin' bird in the night
The wind is strong but i hope i'm right
An' this will be the end of this endless flight

List'ning to the falling rain
Always seems to bring her back again
I can remember like it was yesterday
Sound of her voice, her look upon her face
Like children playing children's games
We joked and laughed at ev'ry passing day
I'm so much older, things have changed
I've realized that now it's just too late

I hear the laughter echoin' through my brain
I hear the laughter then i'm alone again
I tried to forget her heaven knows
Seems there's no direction left to go
I can remember like it was yesterday
I hear the laughter then i'm alone again

I'm alone again, alone again
I wish that i could hold you now
I wish that i could turn this all around
It's just my foolish fantasy
But that won't bring your sweet love back to me

I hear the laughter, somebody called my name
I hear the laughter and i can feel the pain
I hear the laughter echoing through my brain
I hear the laughter then i'm alone again
I hear the laughter, i hear the laughter

There's no bus'ness like love bus'ness
There's no bus'ness i know
One day ya wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go

There's nothin' shakin' ll ke love makin'
There's nothin'as long as it lasts
One day can be there forever
The next is a thing of the past
Now listen to this

I fell in love with a sweet little girl once
She was ev'rything a woman should be
Did ev'rything to find if she was wrong
But it seemed she loved only me
She gave me some pretty good things
Things i couldn't get from my own dear mother
I had to go 'way for just a few days
When i returned she'd gone off with my brother
I was drivin' and i didn't see it coming, no

There's no bus'ness like love bus'ness
There's no bus'ness i know
One day ya wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go

Once i knew this rich man
He treated hiswoman like a queen
He gave the woman ev'rything she needed
He kept her lookin'so fine and clean
He had so much faith in her
His love he never had to check out
He had to go see a man about a dog one day
And when he got back he found she'd shimmied out
I tried to tell you boy, you wouldn't listen to me

There's no bus'ness like love bus'ness
There's no bus'ness i know
One day ya wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go

Listen! there ain't nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There ain't nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next is a thing of the past

La, da, da, da, da, da, ooh, whoo
La, da, da, da, da, da, ooh, whoo, whoo, whoo
La, da, da, da, da, da, ooh, whoo

There's no bus'ness like love bus'ness
There's no bus'ness i know
One day ya wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go

Listen! there ain't nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There ain't nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next is a thing of the past
