The Last Bus

I never made the girl cry
'Cause she was half way across the country when I tried
And she can't stop and she can't stop and
Who knows who she's running from
But he's bootlegged and fire-armed and he ain't much fun

The train track's rattling, the wistful sound
You wash out you wake up your scared to look round
But there's people and people
And shadows of the birds
Singing songs of their hard times
And still lost for words

And I finds myself sighing
Here praying, two timing
It's OK darling I'm just nearly dying
And you won't say what you don't know
So I think it's time that I should go

Cause you missed the last train
The last plane, the last bus
And now you're telling me you're missing us

And you should come inside
Cause it's gonna rain so hard
It'll raise the tide

Smile again and I'll say yes

You live in dreams and sow up seams
Of old clothes in the hallway
You're arms were crossed with mine
And I was right on time
To see you out, you were right about that

Cause you missed the last train
The last plane and the last bus
And now you're killing me
Saying you're missing us

Where to now?
It's all you talk about with me
So please come down from your balcony

I've been waiting for hours
my hands on my knees
my head getting lower with a blanket of sleep
and I'm pretty tired and you're pretty too
And boy, I've been dreaming
Dreaming of you

Boy, I've been dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
