Sitting, waiting for that special someone to arrive... (Weatherford/Nunley)
Check it out
I'm a songwriter with a few song contracts in Nashville. If you hear something you'd like to include on your next project, just holler.
Thanks for checking in!
Story behind the song
I wish Bob could have sang this one, as he performs it with more feeling than I do, but, it's still a good song no matter who sings it.

Captain Of the Plane

Standing in this airport and I’m freezing to the bone.
Surrounded by all these people here and I still feel alone.
They all look the same; all they do is stare.
Looking out the windows everywhere.
Captain of the plane,
Can you see the runway lights.
Are you getting closer to me,
Is everything alright.
You know I’m hoping for you,
And I’ve got my fingers crossed.
Captain please don’t tell us that you’re lost.
‘Cause you know you’ve got my angel,
ridding between your wings,
Patiently waiting,
To come back home to me,
She’s my life, she’s my soul,
Captain you got to know,
Way up in the sky,
Captain fly.
Looking at the computer screen the flight is way behind,
The girl that works the counter here says it happens all the time.
Says there’s nothing wrong,
Its only a short delay.
She tells me there’s a thousand flights a day.
Captain of the plane,
Flying through the night.
All I see in the distance now is a single flashing light.
And I hope the wind is calm,
And your engines roar with sound.
Captain I’m just waiting on the ground.
