Gate 37 Lyrics

(David Byrne - Gate 37)

AQUINO:
So hold me now,
Cory and Benny
You know this thing
It's bigger than me —

I've got to do this alone
So it'll draw less attention
But it hurts me so much
Now it's time must leave

AQUINO & ENSEMBLE:
Now you're all gathered here
Here at Gate 37
Do you know what it means
To be saying goodbye?

AQUINO:
Do you know what it means
That this might be forever?
I might be seeing you now
For the very last time

I can hear the announcement
As they call China Airlines
This bulletproof vest
It's the best we can do

But the chances are slim
And if the truth it be told
'Cause if they aim for my head
It won't do me much good

AQUINO & ENSEMBLE:
Now you're all gathered here
Here at Gate 37
Do you know what it means
To be saying goodbye?

AQUINO:
Do you know what it means
That this might be forever?
I might be seeing you now
For the very last time

AQUINO & ENSEMBLE:
Now you're all gathered here
Here at Gate 37...
