George Donaldson - Burlington Lyrics
A full day in an airport, with another plane delayWell there’s flaming hot dogs and coffee stall,And people pass by car,But I’ve only got $10 and I know it won’t go farBound in like a prisoner, with the inmates passing me byAll bound for some destination somewhere through the skyJames Galway’s coming through my earphones he’s easing up this painAs I watch another plane delayed by the bloody pouring rain.Chorus:And I wished I was in Burlington, with the people that I know,And I wished I was in Burlington, down in Lake Ontario.I should be playing on the stage at 9 or 10 o’clock,With the thunder passing overhead as the plane begins to dockI’m thinking to myself, it won’t be long ‘til we’re awayThe plane gets redirected, now it’s gone out to L.A.ChorusIt’s half way now ‘til midnight and I finally made it here,I’m tired, and I’m hungry and I’m thristin’ for a beer,The gig has long since been and gone, the moon is shining bright,And an empty invitation says come back some other night.Chorus x2Down in Lake Ontario
