The Settlers – Early Morning Rain Lyrics

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
Im a long way from home and I miss my loved one so
In the early morning rain with nowhere to go.
Cut on runway number nine, big 707 set to go
Im stuck here on the ground, where the cold winds blow
The liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
There she goes, my friend, shes rolling down at last.
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high
Shes away and westward bound, far above the clouds shell fly
Where the morning rain dont fall and the sun always shines
Shell be flying over my home in about three hours time.
This old airports got me down, its no earthly good to me
Because Im stuck here on the ground, cold and drunks as I might be
You cant hop a jet plane like you can a freight train
So Id best be on my way in the early morning rain.
End
