747 (Strangers in the Night) [Live at Donington 1980] Lyrics by Saxon

Wheels of Steel (2009 - Remaster)

2009

[Intro]
Okay, here's another one you can sing to if you like
[Verse 1]
We've got a seven forty seven coming down in the night
There's no power, there's no runway lights
Radio operator, try to get a message through
Tell the flight deck, New York has no lights
There's no power, what do we do?
A seven forty seven coming down in the night
Try to get a message through
[Chorus]
'Cause we were strangers in thе night, sing it
Sing it
'Cause we werе
Going nowhere
We were
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
[Verse 2]
This is Scandinavian one-o-one
Flight from Hawaii coming out of the sun
Kennedy, you should be in sight
We can't see a thing here in the night
The navigator says we're on the flight path
There's no radio, no sign of life
This is Scandinavian one-o-one
For God's sake, get your ground lights on
[Chorus]
'Cause we were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers and drawn to the night
Going nowhere
Sing it
'Cause we were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Seven forty seven coming down in the night
There's no power, they don't know why
They've no fuel, they've got to land soon
They can't land by the light of the moon
They're overshooting, there's no guiding lights
Set a course into the night
This is Scandinavian one-o-one
For God's sake, get your ground lights on
[Chorus]
'Cause we were strangers in the night
Lost on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
[Bridge]
Strangers in the night
We were strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
[Chorus]
'Cause we were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Flight one-o-one
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
[Outro]
Strangers in the night
Thank you
