Christmas At The Airport

(专辑： Quality Street: A Seasonal Selection For All The Family - 2013)

"Passengers are reminded to keep personal items and luggage with them at all times
Any unattended luggage in the terminal building will be removed by security... and may be destroyed"

Outside, the taxi window
On the way to catch my flight
I notice snowflakes playing
In the everfading light

When he dropped me at departures
It was really coming down
Deep and crisp and evil
It settled on the ground

It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport
All the planes are grounded
And the fog is rolling in

It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport this year
Doors are locked and bolted
Let the festivities begin!

The terminal was seething
Without much Christmas cheer
So I found an empty closet
And bedded down in there

When I woke much later
I was quite alone
Check-in was deserted
Everyone had gone

It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport
I took a set of x-rays
They came out rather well

It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport this year
I'm doing Santa's sleighride
On the baggage carousel

"Passengers are advised that oversized items such as buggy... wheelchairs...
Are to be found in the tram[?]
Which is situated opposite carousel eight"

It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport
I should be at the table
With all my kith and kin

It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport this year
Don't save me any turkey
I found a burger in a bin
