After the Last Train

Lyrics

The board goes dark above the stairs I missed the last one out of town You pick up on the second ring Before I get the whole thing out You say, sit tight, I'll grab my keys Don't worry what the meter says I find a seat beside the street And watch your headlights round the bend After the last train After the long day You come around You come around When all the doors close You take the back road You come around You come around You brought the scarf I left last spring And something warm in a paper bag I ask about the drive you made You ask if I have eaten yet Some people love in perfect words You love in how you turn the wheel No speech about what I deserve Just something solid I can feel After the last train After the long day You come around You come around When all the doors close You take the back road You come around You come around Next time the night gets heavy on you Call me before you carry it through I know the road, I know what to do I'll be the one coming round for you After the last train After the long day We come around We come around When all the doors close We take the back road We come around We come around Before the morning comes You don't have to be alone
