Caterpillar
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I still see you leaving - platform number 9
Bleary-eyed, almost asleep
You looked straightthrough me, i gave you a sign
A whistle and out the train began to creep
And my caterpillar, time could change a thing
Must admit, i hoped it might
You've been gone so long now
Meant to have a fling
Just like a real butterfly in flight
Oh, caterpillar, i love you still
I always wanted you to change
But caterpillar, i meant no ill
You seemed so awkward
And i felt so strange with you
Now i see you standing in the station yard
Independent and alone
Smiling as you see me and so self-assured
Yes, now i see how you have to grown
Oh, my caterpillar, you put me to shame
Do you think i should have known ?
Yeah, the way i see it, you have won this game
But please don't go and leave me on my own
Oh, caterpillar, i love you still
I always wanted you to change
But caterpillar, i meant no ill
You seemed so awkward
And i felt so strange with you
