Nothing To Declare
Composer(s): Steve Hogarth
Performer(s): Steve Hogarth



A hundred thousand hearts a day
Are vacuumed in along these runways
In specks of iron from around the world
Drawn to the magnetism in this place
I've watched them land in the Heathrow haze
Through 'Nothing to Declare' into cars that speed away

I'm watching the aeroplanes comin' in
Waiting for a miracle
Watching the aeroplanes comin' in
Wonderin' if I'll see you again
Wonder if I'll see you again

I understand how you had to leave
You said 'back soon' and I must believe
My feelings haven't changed since that fateful day
You left me grounded and you flew away

Over my house into the clouds
To foreign lands in the sunshine
I watch the seven forty sevens climb
Over my house into the clouds
To foreign lands in the sunshine

I wave bye bye, bye bye,

A hundred thousand hearts a day
Come gliding down but they don't explain
An empty seat on a sold out flight
A year ago on an empty night
I watched you down but you never came
Through 'Nothing to Declare' like a sign hangin' on my name

I'm watching the aeroplanes comin' in
Waiting for a miracle
Watching the aeroplanes
Wonderin' if I'll see you... again

Over my house
My house
