David SmithWhite - Song: Number Five

David SmithWhite - Song: Number Five

I'll be waiting at the station br when the old milk train arrives, br and listening to the Muzak play br a gentle lullaby. br And drifting in romantic haze, br the promised bliss and thrive, br I'll be waiting on the platform, baby, br platform number five! br br Platform number five. br You're coming home alive! br Platform number five. br Though wounded, you survived! br br Platform number five. br An answered prayer that I've br longed for, like other wives. br Platform number five. br br I'll be waiting at the airport br when the war transport divides br to send home it's precious cargo br across this country wide. br I'll be waiting in the darkness br as the stretchers disembark br and hope I get a glimpse of you; br damaged goods from sad Iraq. br br Airgate number five; br a promised day that I've br longed for like other wives. br Airgate number five. br br Airgate number five; br not dead but half alive. br Airgate number five; br my hope's restored, revived. br I'll be waiting at the airgate, baby, br Airgate number five! br Airgate number five...
