There´s a man waving his hat

At a starting aeroplane

On a faded photograph from long ago

And I wondered who he was

And who was on the plane

And where the flight was going to



And I felt kind of homesick

Although you were with me



Save a prayer, a prayer for me

When will I ever come back again?

Save a prayer, a prayer for me

When will I ever - come back - come back again?



When the circle is fullfilled

And the planes are coming back

I will be there to welcome you home

Then it will be my turn

And nothing shall be left

But memories and fading photographs



You see, I'm on my way

Some have to go - some have to stay



Save a prayer, a prayer for me

When will I ever come back again?

Save a prayer, a prayer for me

When will I ever - come back - come back again?



When will I ever cope with love?

When will I ever learn?

And I feel I have to go

To where I do not know, to where I do not know...



Save a prayer...
