Restless Night
Sitting in the airportOn a warm July night
Five hours to kill
Until my check in and flight
Watching the maintenance men
Is my only entertainment
Watching them mop and wax the floors
People milling about, going here and there
Checked the flight board seven times
The flight is on time
It is all too quiet
This lonely restless night
Nothing to do but sit and watch
Waiting for the long hours to tick by
Finally 4:15 rolls around
Time to check in and wave bye bye for now
