Christmas at the Airport lyrics

Outside the taxi window

On the way to catch my flight

I noticed snowflakes playing

In the ever failing light

When you dropped me at departures

It was really coming down

Deep and crisp beneath

And 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 I settled 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 pretty well

It looks like Christmas, Christmas at the airport this year

Now I'm doing Santa's sleigh ride on the baggage carousel

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.
