Man In The Station

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.

There’s a man in the station and a train in the rain

There’s a face in the mirror that’s showing the strain

There’s a woman in the dark that’s standing apart

There’s a love in the man, and it’s breaking his heart

But it’s alright, I'm catching the next train home

The next train home

There’s one more circle I'm dying to try

There’s a piece of my head, and it’s asking me why

There’s a piece of my heart that’s dying to fly

There’s a baby in a woman that’s waiting to cry

But it’s alright, I'm catching the next train home

The next train home

There’s got to be a way for a lazy face

To get off and start loving the human race

There’s just got to be a way for a crazy face

Get out from under this paper chase

But it’s alright, I'm catching the next train home

The next train home

There’s a man in the station and a train in the rain

There’s a face in the mirror that’s showing the strain

There’s a woman in the dark, that’s standing apart

There’s a love in the man that’s breaking his heart

But it’s alright, I'm catching the next train home

The next train home
