Lyrics
As we reached the station
The train was standing by
I tried so hard to keep myself
From looking in your eye
And as I glanced away and saw the case
I felt the tears come rolling down my face
Looking through the window
I heard the whistle blow
I needed no reminding it was time for you to go
But standing there beside the railway track
I told myself that you'd be coming back
My haunting memory serves me very well
No need to spell it out as if you couldn't tell
I briefly thought of us, a moment to retain
Too good a memory to 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
Don't waste no 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
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 no time
Take a ticket for a fast train
Don't waste no time
Take a ticket for a fast train
Meet me down the line
