lyrics

I’m here at the station
I’m waiting and waiting
And nothing but trains are coming through

Weather is predictable
And life gets miserable
When you’re not here with me

I would forge my signature to have you nearer
I would break the emergency glass on the plane
To send it back from where you came

Sunrise from the west
Finds me far from my best
And far from where I need to be

Oceans are apart
And the part that breaks my heart
Is that you’re not here with me

I would forge my signature to have you nearer
I would break the emergency glass on the plane
To send it back from where you came

I would drain the ocean, I would hold you so near
I would drain the ocean, I would hold you so near

I would forge my signature to have you nearer
I would break the emergency glass on the plane
To send it back from where you came
