He drops her at Departures, another quick goodbye
She turns so he can't see the tear that glistens in her eye
He finds the Exit, merges into traffic with a sigh
Just another small delay
Just another small delay
She checks the gate, her flight is late
She's made it through the queue
In her mind she sees his face as she puts on her shoes
Wondering how she's going to lose those traveling blues
Just another small delay
Just another small delay
The man from immigration said their case was pretty clear
They've waited for the letter through a slowly passing year
And the lawyer says it's better if he doesn't interfere
Just another small delay
Just another small delay
Their plans are still on hold as they're waiting for the day
When borders and officials aren't standing in their way
She'll come back to him and this time it will be to stay
For the moment they must wait
Just another small delay
