Last Train Home
David Mead
The caldwells and the oranges
Footprints on this morning's daily news
Counting down the stations
Crosswords on the nougahyde with you
We spent the day remembering the city
Mixing up our streets and avenues
But now you're fast asleep
And I am so alone
But we're together on the last train
All the towns repeating
Four more stops to go
We're together on the last train home
Catching our reflections
Flickering just like a super 8
Somerset and chatham
Someone in an office working late
And you were softly singing in the kitchen
Washing hands and saving him a plate
But now you're fast asleep
And I am so alone
But we're together on the last train
All the towns repeating
Two more stops to go
We're together on the last train home
Rolling past the orphanage
Oil-colored cars all in a line
Pretty pile of stones ahead
Morristown and convent fall behind
It's quiet in the shadow of the city
Clicking wheels are ticking off the time
But now you're fast asleep
And i am so alone
But we're together on the last train
All the towns repeating
One more stop to go
We're together on the last train home
Now you're fast asleep
And I am so alone
But we're together on the last train
All the towns repeating
No more stops to go
We're together on the last train home
On the last train home
