Missing a Girl

Looking through the tarmac rain

At the rows of giant birds

They’re all feeding at the gates,

There are tails from all over the world

A million people in between

Hurry by the TV screens

And I just sit here missing a girl

Cuppa coffee, airport bench

Carry on, and me

Something messed up my connection

To where I want to be

Something happened, the line dropped out

Something she don’t wanna talk about

And I just sit here missing a girl

Overhead the speakers tell me

One more delay

I hear the numbers

But my heart’s a million miles away

She made it clear we could still be friends

But she won’t be there to meet me at the other end

And I just sit here missing a girl

She made it clear,

I try to see it through these tears

I know it’s true

And I just sit here missing a girl
