The Station Lyrics

Bought a ticket at the station, to my destination

I might be going nowhere, but I would not like to show there so

Quick, decisions on my mind

I'm moving at the speed of time

'Cause time gonna heal me soon

Leave tomorrow, 'cause there's nothing left for me

Saying goodbye sorrow, say goodbye to me

I'll take the rail line, I'm taking a line

I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm saying goodbye

I know I will miss you, oh, for one more night

Walking home from the station, December in the city

I love to see the people, 'cause tonight they looking oh, so

Pretty in the pale moonlight

Streetcars flashing in their eyes

Tonight they gonna crash in me

Tears appearing, who could they be for?

See the taxi sailing, I can still hear the slamming door

Over and over, they don't ever warn you

When it's over before you even begin

Even before you, oh, get home again

So goodbye good friends, goodbye city

I know tomorrow at another station, you'll be looking oh, so

I'll take that train just where it goes

And when I get there, then who knows

So tonight, say a prayer for me

For when I leave tomorrow, leaving nothing behind me here

Sing goodbye sorrow, singing for you dear

When I leave from the station, I'll look out the window

And wave to the strangers who look at the train

And maybe tomorrow, oh, I'll be waving again

Oh mama don't tell me I been a fool

'Cause that ain't the game, babe, that ain't the rules

Don't nobody tell me, oh, what I can do

But don't you forget me when I'm not around

Think of me fondly, it's all that I ask

I know I will miss you, oh, when I get the chance

So I'll take the rail line, I'm taking that line

When I leave from the station, I'll be singing goodbye

I'm gonna ride on that rail line, oh, I'll be taking my time
