Always On Time

Each day is a train thundering down my back
Every moment I'm looking for a new plan of attack
Every night I lie awake listening to the river flow
Time is slipping away
I watch each second of it go

Then you step out smiling in the sun
And I knew that if I waited
You would come

Always on time
Never like the others
Always on the line
Showing your true colours
My true other
You are my true other

I see others run
I even see some of them fly
I'm standing on the earth but I'm thinking of the sky
Where do I belong?
Is there a place here for me?
I don't want to be a passing moment in someone else's dreams

Then you step out smiling in the sun
And I knew that if I waited
You would come

Always on time
Never like the others
Always on the line
Showing your true colours
Always on time
My true other
You are my true other

There's a picture of my loneliness
It's a man on a highway

Walking

There's a picture of my loneliness
It's a boy at the station

Waiting

You are where I want to be

Always on time
Never like the others
Always on the line
Showing your true colours
Always on time
My true lover
You are my true lover

There's a picture of my loneliness
It's a man on the highway

Walking

There's a picture of my loneliness
It's a boy on the station

Waiting
