Story Behind The Song
An urgent message from the hospital, there's been an accident, but he's working many miles away. A nightmare journey to the airport, traffic jam, at last he gets there, parks and runs to 'Departures'. The nightmare continues, the Message Board says 'NO FLIGHT, TONIGHT'due to bad weather.
There is a tiny chapel/prayer room at the airport, he sinks to his knees and cries for help. Through the mist of his tears, he has the vision of an Angel reaching out to him.
Next morning, the news comes that his loved one has made a miraculous recovery. and, when she regained consciousness, she whispered his name...

Lyrics
The message said 'urgent
- be quick as you can'
'There's been a collision'.
My nightmare began.
I crawled to the airport,
two hours in a jam,
Eventually made it,
I parked up and ran...
'NO FLIGHT, TONIGHT'
THE MESSAGE BOARD SAID,
WISHED I COULD GROW WINGS INSTEAD.
The chapel was empty,
I fell to my knees,
For once in my lifetime,
I cried 'Help me, please.'
My eyes misting over,
my tears flowing free,
Then I saw an angel,
she reached out to me.
'NO FLIGHT, TONIGHT'
THE MESSAGE BOARD SAID,
WISHED I COULD GROW WINGS INSTEAD.
'NO FLIGHT, TONIGHT'
'BAD WEATHER', I HEARD,
WISHED I COULD FLY LIKE A BIRD.
(instrumental break)
'NO FLIGHT, TONIGHT'
THE MESSAGE BOARD SAID,
WISHED I COULD GROW WINGS INSTEAD.
'NO FLIGHT, TONIGHT'
'BAD WEATHER', I HEARD,
WISHED I COULD FLY LIKE A BIRD.
A miracle happened,
next morning, news came
She made a recovery,
she whispered my name.
