CHORUS: Over the Flugplatz, over the Rhine Fuel's running short and so is my time, Show me the runway, lead me home Back to the base I love. VERSE 1: Number one came in to land, He grasped the throttle in his hand Orenda 10 refused to run That's how we lost our number one. VERSE 2: Number two was high and hot, Bags of airspeed he had got, Touchdown came at GCA X marks the spot where he died today. VERSE 3: Number three was low and slow, He tried to stretch it but it wouldn't go, Heard him say as he hit the ground "Soellingen Tower" I should have gone around.
