Last Train to You
words and music by me, dammit
One way to look at things is that I just arrived too late
Another is to say there was no way I'd be on time
'Cause when the train departed on that now-forgotten date
I wasn't yet aware that I would want to take that line
I'm standing in the station feeling blue
The train I'd take to get to you is gone
No other line would drop me off where I wanted to go
And 'cause I missed you, you are moving on
I saw it passing by a couple times along the road
But catching it had never held too much of an appeal
I sometimes took short lines, I never knew where I was going
But I can't catch the long one now that I know how I feel
I'm standing in the station feeling blue
The train I'd take to get to you is gone
No other line would drop me off where I wanted to go
And 'cause I missed you, you are moving on
And so I sit all patient and I wait here in the depot
I'm sure that service to you will start up again someday
I just hope that the train to where you are will get here soon
Because you may not live there anymore, depending on the wait
I'm standing in the station feeling blue
The train I'd take to get to you is gone
No other line would drop me off where I wanted to go
And 'cause I missed you, you are moving on
I'm standing in the station feeling blue
The train I'd take to get to you is gone
No other line would drop me off where I wanted to go
And 'cause I missed you, you are moving on
And 'cause I missed you, you are moving on
And 'cause I missed you, you are moving on
No other line would drop me off where I wanted to go
And 'cause I missed you, you are moving on
