Only+24+hours+away

She's only 24 hours away One stop in Dubai and then we're back on the plane Heading down south to the rain It's winter in Melbourne but I can't wait to hold her again

30,000 feet down there's a war Up here I watch the flight path flicker and crawl Like a bird for its seasonal home I'm drawn across the miles to the warmth of her glow

I'm not much of a flyer it's true Each second ticks by like the glaciers do But I've got pills that can loosen my bones And it's only 24 hours 'til I'm home

to a warm shining globe?? warm ... glow
