I can't explain in words
At least none that I've heard
And even if I could
Who cares?
There's something slightly strange
You really can't explain
The quality of light
Around this time of year
Look up into the sky
And you can see the sun
Reflecting off the body
Of an aeroplane
The people that we view
Whoever they might be
The likes of them
Will never pass this way again
The saddest thing of all
The saddest thing for sure
This time there might not be
A happy ending
So just you mark my words
With your brightly-coloured lips
And that should warm things up
At least a little bit
Look up into the sky
And you can see the sun
Reflecting off the body
Of an aeroplane
The people that we view
Whoever they might be
The likes of them
Will never pass this way again
