Brief Encounter

As we reached the station

The train was standing by

I tried so hard to keep myself

From looking in your eye

And as I glanced away and saw the case

I felt the tears come rolling down my face

Looking through the window

I heard the whistle blow

I needed no reminding it was time for you to go

But standing there beside the railway track

I told myself that you'd be coming back

My haunting memory serves me very well

No need to spell it out as if you couldn't tell

I briefly thought of us, a moment to retain

Too good a memory to never live again

So near but so far away

Start your journey today

Take a ticket for a fast train

Meet me down the line

Take a ticket for a fast train

Don't waste any time

Don't waste no time

I've waited patiently to see you once again

Each letter that I write the message is the same

So near but so far away

Leave now, please don't delay

Take a ticket for a fast train

Meet me down the line

Take a ticket for a fast train

Don't waste any time

Take a ticket for a fast train

Meet me down the line

Take a ticket for a fast train

Don't waste no time

Take a ticket for a fast train

Don't waste no time

Take a ticket for a fast train

Meet me down the line
