lyrics

I’m packing very light

For a three AM train ride

To see a friend, take a tour or two

And if my calculations are right

Its been too long since I’ve seen you

And too long since I’ve loved anyone

Since I’ve loved anyone

Nothing much has changed

Except I’ve slightly aged

And missed a couple flights

Avoiding every stage

Avoiding all that’s right

The locomotive makes it ‘round

As I move through aching towns

Tomorrow’s here, it’s not here for them

Surrounded by those you love

What a foreign concept:

Unfamiliar streets and strangers

That’s more like it

Does she look the same?

And did she change her name?

Is her brother doing fine?

Is she still playing games?

Still just killin’ time?

She was a wanderer

A wayward hitchhiker

Who stumbled straight into my home

The timing was wrong so she didn’t stay long

In the morning she left me alone

As each day passes, I forget her face

All I’ll remember is her shape
