Departures Can Be Tearful Lyrics

Departures Can Be Tearful

Well, there’s nothing short of dying

that can get a woman crying

as fast as some damned airplane flying

and taking her man out of sight.

‘Cause when it lifts off from the runway,

you know it makes her feel so lonely

because her loving one and only

won’t be by her side tonight.

But someone’s always leaving

for a million different reasons,

and someone’s always being left behind.

And no matter what she’s saying,

someone’s always praying

that the one she loves will keep her on his mind.

So departures can be tearful

because a woman can be fearful,

and it’s hard remaining cheerful

when you’re driving home alone.

And it’s only temporary,

but even so, it’s kind of scary.

And she trusts him, but she’ll worry

until her traveling man comes home.
