The Man In The Station

Written by:

There's a man in the station and a train in the rain.
There's a face in the mirror that's showing the strain.
There's a woman in the dark that's standing apart,
There's a love in the man that's breaking his heart.
But it's alright, I'm catching the next train home;
The next train home.

There's one more circle I'm dying to try.
There's a piece of my head that's asking me why.
There's a piece of my heart that's dying to fly,
There's a baby and a woman that's waiting to cry.
But it's alright, I'm catching the next train home;
The next train home.

There's got to be a way for a lazy face
To get off and start loving the human race.
There's just got to be a way for a crazy face
To get out from under this paper chase.
But it's alright - I'm catching the next train home;
The next train home!

There's a man in the station and a train in the rain.
There's a face in the mirror that's showing the strain.
There's a woman in the dark, just standing apart,
There's a love in the man that's breaking his heart.
But it's alright - I'm catching the next train home;
The next train home.
