Back to Main Page

 

We took off from Bimini a few hours before dawn

Our captain never flew this route before

It was a routine patrol

But I felt deep in my soul

I would not be coming home no more

 

 

We were strangers in the night.

We were lost and never found

I was only seventeen

Inexperienced and green

Never more to stand

On the solid ground.

 

You want to make a mystery about this tragic flight

You want to call on aliens from space

But when I flew into that storm

Began to wish I’d not been born

Or sent to train in that airspace.

 

 

We were strangers in the night.

We were lost and never found

We flew north instead of west

Our captain said that he knew best

As we flew into heavy cloud.

 

We were strangers in the night.

We were lost and never found

Fuel supplies were running short

A hurricane had got us caught

Paralysed in fear at the engine sound (x4)
