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?
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever - come back - come back again?
When the circle is fullfilled
And the planes are coming back
And I will be there to welcome you home
Then it will be my turn
Nothing shall be left
But memories and fading 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 come back again?
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever - come back - come back again?
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
When will I ever come back again?
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever - come back
When will I ever - come back - come back again?
