Transmission Ends

Transmission Ends - Chris De Burgh

Looking out on a windy sky

Watching seabirds as they fly

On a summer day on a summer day;

And now the sun is here to stay

The winter seems so far away

In the summertime in the summertime;

Sitting here with my love tonight

News is breaking from the south

On the radio on the radio;

Brother lead and sister steel

Are playing out their final scene

On the radio on the radio;

And when you lie beside me soft and quiet in the night

I often listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat giving life

You are so precious to me darling it will always be that way

Until the final act is over

Until every man has spoken

Until every battle's done

Until the day

Transmission ends transmission ends;

Waiting up for a shadow tonight

Coming in via satellite

From America from America;

Whispers from some far-off place

Are drifting into outer space

From America from America;

And when I see a shooting star go flashing in the night

I often wonder if some other beings also see the light

And are they picking up our signals

As they spin of into space

Until the final act is over

Until every man has spoken

Until every summer's gone

Until every battle's done

Until the day

Transmission ends transmission ends;

Oh don't let it happen don't let it happen no no

Darling I'm always going to love you

Yes I'm always going to love you

Darling I'm always going to love you

Until the final day

Until the final hour

I'm always going to be with you

Yes I'm always going to be with you

My love always going to be with you

Until the day comes down

The man is on the radio

"This is station planet Earth we're closing down

Transmission ends

Station planet Earth is closing down

Transmission ends transmission ends "
