And as we reached the station The train was standin' by I tried so hard to keep myself From lookin' in your eye And as I glanced away And saw the case I felt the tears Come rollin' down my face
Looking through the window I heard the whistle blow I needed no remindin' It was time for you to go But standin' there beside The railway track I told myself that you'd be comin' back
My haunted memory Serves me very well No need to spell it out As if you couldn't tell Our bried encounter Was a moment to retain Too good a memory Should never live again
So near, but so far away Start your journey today
Take a ticket for a fast train Meet me down the line Take a ticket for a fast train Don't waste any time
I've waited patiently To see you once again Each letter that I write The message is the same
So near, but so far away Leave now, please don't delay
Take a ticket for a fast train Meet me down the line Take a ticket for a fast train And don't waste any time
Take a ticket for a fast train Meet me down the line Take a ticket for a fast train Don't waste any time Take a ticket for a fast train Don't waste any time Take a ticket for a fast train Meet me down the line
