	Story Behind the Song As we were preparing to depart Chicago's O'Hare airport I suddenly started getting the idea for this song. I had to flag down the stewardess to borrow a pencil and I started writing on the back of my ticket envelope, 'I'm on a Midnight Flight from the west coast', which became the first line of what is the bridge in the song. The funny thing is, is that I was leaving for home, but, the song is about flying out for a 5 day visit with a beautiful lady who I deeply loved but, ultimately, would never see again. The song talks about the doubts that we sometimes experience on our way to see someone we love but are unsure of what the meeting will be like. But, then, our eyes meet and all the doubts disappear. It was a wonderful visit and thou I may have lost her she gave me something more valuable than she will ever know, she gave me this song and for that I will always thank her and love her. Lyrics Midnight Flight Verse 1 Making the run from the west coast Hearing your voice in my head It's driving my need to be with you Missing my place in your bed Heading out over the Rockies Fighting the sleep from my eyes I whisper your name in the darkness No reply Chorus I'm on a MIDNIGHT FLIGHT from the west coast A darkened window seat with no view Look out and see your reflection Baby, tell me what to do I'm on a MIDNIGHT FLIGHT from the west coast Anticipating our rendezvous You're calling me home, calling me home Calling me home to you Verse 2 I'm growing weary I can't sleep Losing reality Drifting between these emotions That won't set me free One more hour out of Dallas Baby, if only you knew I've had only your face in a picture To hold on to Chorus 2 I'm on a MIDNIGHT FLIGHT from the west coast A darkened window seat with no view Look out and see your reflection Baby, what am I to do I'm on a MIDNIGHT FLIGHT from the west coast Anticipating our rendezvous You're calling me home, calling me home Calling me home to you Bridge Dreams of your arms around me I awake but I can't forget Hoping you'll be there to meet me Will we be just one silhouette I see your face and our eyes meet And the doubts simply fade away You're calling me home, calling me home Calling me home to stay I hear you calling me home, calling me home Baby, I'm on my way (Inst) Verse 3 A MIDNIGHT FLIGHT from the west coast A window seat with no view I feel you here beside me Baby, what am I to do I need the touch of your body Love the look in your eyes I reach for you in the darkness How you hypnotize Chorus 3 I'm on a MIDNIGHT FLIGHT from the west coast A darkened window seat with no view Reach out to touch your reflection I need to talk to you I'm on a MIDNIGHT FLIGHT from the west coast Anticipating our rendezvous You're calling me home, calling me home Calling me home to you Outro You're calling me home, calling me home Calling me home to you I hear you calling me home, calling me home Calling me home,.......calling me home to stay Yeah, you're calling me home CP 1999 David Thompson 09/05/99 Thank you, Jan
