Ash Cloud

[Intro: David Brown]
One, two
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1: David Brown]
There's an ash cloud drifting
Over Europe's skies tonight
And I'm wondering if I'm ever
Gonna catch my flight
The airport's empty and our plane is late
Nervous Russians standing by the gate
There's an ash cloud drifting
Over Europe's skies tonight

[Verse 2: David Brown]
It's causing problems
In the upper atmosphere
And our grand inventions
Are stranded on the ground down here
But no one's crazier than Aeroflot
I thank the good Lord that I got my spot
On the last plane flying out
Of Europe's skies tonight

[Chorus: David Brown, Joel Virgel-Vierset & Nuria Tamayo]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, my baby
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, my girl
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, it feels a little strange
A dress rehearsal for the end of the world

[Trumpet: Mike Bolger]

[Verse 3: David Brown]
Now it's 5 a.m.
And I'm resting in my hotel room
The BBC says
The troubles won't be over soon
But in this cozy corner of the galaxy
All's as well as it's supposed to be
And the stars glow softly
Over Europe's skies tonight

[Chorus: David Brown, Joel Virgel-Vierset & Nuria Tamayo]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, my baby
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, my girl
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, it feels a little strange
A dress rehearsal for the end of the world
