"This Flight Tonight" as recorded by
Nazareth
Look out to the left The captain said
The lights down there That's where we left
Saw a fallin' star burning High above the Las Vegas sand
It wasn't the that you gave to me That night down south between the trailer
Not the early one that you wish upon
Not the northern one that guides the sailors
You've got that touch So gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Can't talk to you babe I get so weak
Sometimes I think that love is just mythical
Up there's the Heaven Down there's a town
Blackness everywhere a little light shines
Blackness Blackness draggin' me down
Come alot of givin' in this heart of mine--
CHORUS:
Starbright Starbright You've got the lovin' that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got off this flight tonight
LEAD
I'm drinkin' sweet champagne Got the headphones up high
Keep hoping I get drunk Get you out of my mind They're singing
GOODBYE BABY BABY BYE-BYE DO--YOU--LOVE ME
Up go the flaps Down go the wheels
Hope you got your heat on baby
Hope you finally got your automobile
Hope it's better when we meet again--
CHORUS:
Should not have got off this flight tonight
