about

A song about a road. Slightly poignant.

lyrics

From the motorway, gently curving down,
Tree lined and host to spinning wheels.
As I drive between verges worn and brown,
I remember when some of this was fields

Back when I was less aware of me,
My capability green and so naïve
Didn't know this was where I'd be -
Didn't think I'd be so long to leave.

The fountains glisten on the flyover;
A plane takes flight into the contrailed sky.
The trees and building seem so distant now,
And here am I:

On Airport Way.
Ahead of me the airport overshadows Gipsy Lane
On Airport Way.
The green and concrete horizon gives me leave to remain

The stories told from times that pass;
The water towers on each side of town.
The high rise buildings racing up,
The pace where they tore the factory down.

The vista changes yet stays the same,
And day by day and year by year,
Like the trees that stand and watch it all
I find my way back here..

Hurtling over the river Lea,
The cars snake up toward junction 10.
The mist lies heavy as I wonder if I'll be back again.

On Airport way -
The first and last that most will see en route to somewhere new.
From Airport Way.
The pylons and the lamp posts couldn't have a better view.

On Airport Way.
To Hitchin or St Albans; to Riga or to Rome
On Airport Way.
I hope that one day maybe this road will take me home.
