Gate 10
They say time is a river
I don't think it's true
Cause a river rolls on forward
But I'm stuck racing to you
Regrets are like the mornings
They pile up day by day
I will wait no longer
I am on my way
And the speaker's cracklin' overhead
Attention at gate ten
This flight's going nowhere fast
The weather's closing in
When the wheels go up
I know I won't be feeling any pain
Time is stuck I watch the clock
I'm waiting for the world to start again
They say life is a journey
I think it's a test
We were on the road together
Until I went out west
And each step closer
Only took me far away somehow
I lie awake at night and wonder
Where could she be now
And the speaker's cracklin' overhead
Attention at gate ten
This flight's going nowhere fast
The weather's closing in
When the wheels go up
I know I won't be feeling any pain
Time is stuck I watch the clock
I'm waiting for the world to start again
[Bridge] Sometimes there's a quiet
Even in a crowd
I stare off at the distance
For crying out loud
Each flake lasts forever
Frozen there in sight
You know I will never
Want to lose this night. . . .
Well the gate attendant's heading home
Switched off the jetway light
Snow's pile on the tarmac
Everything is white
But I will wait forever
If it's the last thing that I do
Cause every minute longer
Brings me closer back to you
And the speaker's cracklin' overhead
Attention at gate ten
This flight's going nowhere fast
The weather's closing in
When the wheels go up
I know I won't be feeling any pain
Time is stuck I watch the clock
I'm waiting for the world to start again
[Outro] Sometimes there's a quiet
Even in this place
The speaker's cracklin'
I don't hear a single word they say
Something 'bout a time to come
Could be hours or days
But I will wait forever
And I am on my way
The speaker's cracklin'
I don't hear a single word they say
'Cause I will wait forever
And I am on my way
