The train was late for Liverpool

The sun was low, the air was cool

It’s a train of thought, a train of doubt

It’s here to take us out

 

The sunlight flashing through the trees

The countryside between cities

The days go by so fast the future

Soon becomes the past

 

The train was late but now it’s here

And it could take us anywhere

No time to wait, don’t hesitate

‘Cos nothing’s going to last

 

My address for the summer’s changing now

But I’m not going very far – maybe 

Somewhere up the coast that you can reach… By car…

 

The past is present everywhere

Upon the landing, on the stair

December whispers in my ear

Come on, let’s disappear

 

The train was late but now it’s here

And it could take us anywhere

No time to wait, don’t hesitate

‘Cos nothing’s going to last

 

And if my summer address changes now

Well, I’m not going very far – maybe 

Some place up the coast that you can reach… By car…
