We know when we'll be back again
We'll be on tomorrow's QANTAS flight
Oh Lord I want to go: to Melbourne!
We'd gotten up at 4 am, freezing cold
Humberto drove us to the airport
The streets were empty: we were blessed
It was still raining down; what a mess
Adelaide Airport: full of life
So many travellers every where
Our eagerness filled the air
Checked out the breakfast lounge
Forced down a bit of food: coffee too
Settled my belly: really good
Bought a green beanie for my Shell
She'd lost hers somewhere: what the hell!
I stole Shelley's window seat
Made her cranky but no sweat
Said she could have it on the way back
Then we tried to settle back: relax a bit
My girls were scared just a little they admit
Knuckles white upon the seats
Seat belts buckled up so tight
Then we were up, up and away
Engines roaring: plane took flight
Out over the ocean blue
Yes heading up into that cloud filled sky
I watched the suburbs far down below
Street lights bright in the quiet night
Yes we were up in those skies
Catching another day's pale sun rise
On our way to Melbourne!
