We've got a 747 coming down in the night

There's no power there's no runway lights

Radio operator tries to get a message through

Tell the flight deck New York has no lights

There's no power what do we do

747 coming down in the night

Try to get a message through

Strangers in the night

Both on separate flights

Strangers in the night

Going nowhere

This is Scandinavian one o one

Flight from Hawaii coming out of the sun

Kennedy should be in sight

We can't see a thing here in the night

Navigator says we're on the flight path

There's no radio no sign of life

This is Scandinavian one o one

For god's sake get the ground lights on because

Strangers in the night

Both on separate flights

Strangers in the night

Going nowhere

There's a 747 going into the night

There's no power they don't know why

They've no fuel they've got to land soon

They can't land by the light of the moon

They're overshooting there's no guiding lights

Set a course into the night

Scandinavian one o one

For god's sake get your ground lights on

Strangers in the night

Both on separate flights

Strangers in the night

Going nowhere

Strangers in the night

We were strangers in the night

Strangers in the night

We were strangers in the night

Strangers in the night

Both on separate flights

Strangers in the night

Going nowhere
