There's a man waving his hat
At a starting aeroplane
On a faded photograph from long ago
And I wondered who he was
And who was on the plane
And where the flight was going to
And I felt kind of homesick
Although you were with me

Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever come back again?

When the circle is fulfilled
When the planes are coming back
And I'll be there to welcome you home
And it will be my turn and nothing shall be left
But memories and faded photographs
You see, I'm on my way
Some have to go, some have to stay

Save a prayer, a prayer for me...

When will I ever cope with love?
When will I ever learn?
And I feel I have to go
To where I do not know, to where I do not know

Save a prayer, a prayer for me...
