Terminal

I've come back this mornin' to where I first
came alive
Here within this terminal where the buses
arrive
I was a commuter on the 804
Work for a computer on the 19th floor and...
You came down the aisle of the bus and you
sat by my side
Shoulder up to shoulder we shared that 9
o'clock ride
Oh, my heart was screamin' as you left your
seat
Followin' your movements I was at your feet
and...
Oh, down into the terminal both of us smiled
So we entered the terminal just as you smiled
"Won't you leave out work for today?" you
ask of me then
So I phoned-in-sick on the way to the home
of a friend
We were all alone from 10 A.M. till 3
Really thought the fire had gone out of me
but...
You awoke the sleep of my life from gray
into red
Made the weary wonder of Wall Street rise
from the dead
Could have held up budding my entire life
But I had to get home to the kids and the
wife and...
So I left for the terminal where I began
Baby, no, I wouldn't have left if I'd been
half a man
So here I am this morning where love had
asked for the dance
Here within this terminal where I passed on
a chance
Lord, I'll never find her though I've truly tried
Probably she's found another bus to ride and...
I am now about to begin the last of my days
I'm within what others would call a terminal
phase
I myself can only say it's livin' dead
Ridin' to the office with a song in my head
that goes...
La da da...
And you know it grows
La da da...
Oh, la da da...
Oh, la da da...
