Haven in the Sky

Fingers crossed
I hope I've made the right move
Always thought that New York
Would be perfect for me

I feel scared
Coz I'm scared
It's a big step
It is not every day you land in NYC
Where's that book that I bought in Departures?
Could a book sort me out?
I don't know anymore
Love yourself, live your dreams, you're amazing
Did I find peace of mind in Terminal 4?

This is more than a flight
It's a haven
Let us take care of you
On our haven in the sky
Just sit back and relax
Take things easy
Watch the ground disappear
Wave your worries goodbye

"Welcome to this eight hour flight to New York. May we thank you for choosing to fly with BA. On behalf of the captain and stewards, we hope you have a pleasant and safe flight today. I thank you."

I feel calm and peaceful
Not just because of the free welcome drink
It seems suddenly right to be here in the sky
With the head space to think
Ten miles high in a blanket or two
Nowhere to go and nothing to do
Just one small suitcase
I'm traveling light
I feel like things
Will turn out all right

In the interest of your health and safety
We advise you to stretch and get up, move around
Roll your neck, gently rotate your ankles
Keep hydrated till you're safely back on the ground
Lift your legs nice and high

Put your socks on
Turn your head left and right

And repeat, and repeat
Take deep breaths

And do ten shoulder circles

Gently bring your head down

And massage your feet
Why do I always sit near the nutter?
Wants to show me the sights
I just want Bloomingdale's
NY State, Guggenheim, Ellis Island
Well, I'll think about them
Once I've been to the sales

This is more than a flight
It's a haven
Let us take care of you
On our haven in the sky
Just sit back and relax
Take things easy
Watch the ground disappear
Wave your worries goodbye

Up here, everything's clear
You just sit and they brought you your every wish
Angels in uniform smile and ask
"Would you rather the meat or the fish?"
No big decisions
No binds and no ties
I love this limbo
Up in the skies
Eight whole hours
My life's not in my hands
Better sort my head out
Though, when this plane lands

Nothing matters when you're here in limbo
Watch the clouds underneath
Lift the weight off your mind
Here the sun's always shining above you
Leave whatever, all baggage you don't want behind

This is more than a flight
It's a haven
Let us take care of you
On our haven in the sky
This is more than a flight
It's a haven
Watch the ground reappear
As we wave you goodbye

This is more than a flight
It's a haven
Let us take care of you
On our haven in the sky...

Here we are
JFK
Well, I made it
Wonder how far it is to Union Square
They're five hours behind, so it's early
Think I'll go for a walk
Get a breath of fresh air
