A station by a railroad track A train that's never coming back I hold a ticket in my hand A porter or an engineer Would ask why I was waiting here Among the wrappers, rust and sand The line rolls up before me like a hedgehog in the sun It disappears across the years Alone like everyone The wires are humming in the wind And I know how the words fit in A thousand songs with one refrain I used to lean between the cars The shadows flickering with the stars The signals ringing in the rain It's true sometimes I wonder was I ever on that train But even then I try again To hear the rails complain The world is full, but so's my heart And I can't tell the two apart I'm out here where the platform ends I'm waiting here for you
