|
Take the train. Platform number seventeen. |
|
It's already running late. |
|
I find my seat. The crowded carriage in between. |
|
Pack my bag beneath my feet. |
|
Now as we're pulling out the station I feel a little kick inside. |
|
And I'm wondering I am thinking just how am I going to heal this time. |
|
'Til a thought crossed my mind. |
|
'Bout how this sorry locomotive can bring me back to life. |
|
Oh now hurry locomotive, take me home tonight. |
|
It smells like the many who have sat here too. |
|
On these seats of green and blue. |
|
On my right a couple kissing need a room. |
|
An old lady hums a tune. |
|
Now as the tracks are slowly winding, |
|
rolling through the countryside. |
|
I am wondering I am thinking, |
|
how long I've been away this time. |
|
And I feel deep inside. I sigh. |
|
While this sorry locomotive brings me back to life. |
|
Oh now hurry locomotive take me home tonight. |
|
I'm going back to where I started. |
|
Where the people care but don't accuse. |
|
I'm going back to where my heart is |
|
on a chair built for two, without you. |
|
Oh now hurry locomotive bring me back to life. |
|
Oh now hurry locomotive take me home tonight. |
|
Tonight. Tonight. |
