about

Whenever my son plans to fly back home for a visit, I can hardly wait to have him back in our "empty nest". However, before he even arrives, I start thinking about that sinking feeling that surely awaits me when I drop him back off to the airport. This song is an expression of that bitter-sweet emotion. "One thing to say before you touch down...Don't Leave".

lyrics

Can't wait to see you tonight
Been so long since you've been back in town
Guess I'm surviving alright
Not quite the same without you around

Ride the wave
Jetstream is calling
One thing to say
Before you touch down

Don't leave me
Don't leave

Nothin' round here has changed
The neighbors wave but keep to themselves
Your old room looks the same
Things left behind still on the shelves

Ride the wave
Jetstream is calling
One thing to say
Before you touch down

Don't leave

Ride the wave
It's been so long

Ride the wave
Jetstream is calling
One thing to say
Before you touch down

Don't leave me
Don't leave
