Air Supply

Songwriter: Graham Russell

Producer: Peter Dawkins

This will take some understanding
I believe someone is sending love to us and everyone
Who cares to take a gamble sometimes
Think of me I've given all I can
Stretched an arm and open hand to you

So never say no
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line

You I need, always needed, don't turn back for any reason
First we talk and then we fall headfirst into each others thinking
Please be where I'll always see you, life is short
The twinkle of an eye is all we have until we say

That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line

Take me away, take me away

Take me away
Do you dream fantasy and believe what you see is weird
I need a remedy or a book to get off this fear
All I wanted to know is how do I get the truth from here
We play so small a part
But we started from somewhere

All the friends that I can think of
Know what's going to happen to them
If they don't think on today and plan ahead for their tomorrow
Here we are just lucky children breaking out of the shell
I'll take your hand today and love you till we reach

The end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away

That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line

Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in 1975. From 1980-1985 the band had a string of hits that charted well in the US, Canada, New Zealand and their homeland Australia.

After Graham Russell’s music was ignored by bandmates in two previous bands, he auditioned for and won a part as a chorus member in a Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This is where he met and teamed up with Russell Hitchcock, who had missed the JCS auditions in Sydney – so he flew to Melbourne and landed a spot in the same chorus.

The two submitted a demo of two songs – “Love And Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” to CBS Records and got signed. The former went to #3 in Australia, so they assembled session musicians, released their self-titled debut album, and toured Australia.
