Eastbound Train

It was new cross station, I was going on home
Saw you get your ticket, standing on your own
Here come the train about 02:44
I couldn't get a smoker, you took another car
Yeah, the end of the line, we both had to change
And you're standing right behind me
I'm a feeling kinda strange
We got to mile end road, my heart skipped a beat
Standing right behind me, I'm a shakin' in my seat
3-4 minutes and the train comes through
I'm ridin' on the central, I'm a-lookin' at you
Woman on the eastbound train
Sometimes I wanna see you again
Now I couldn't read a paper, you couldn't read a book
Kept on taking me another look
You got off the train, you never looked behind
I tried, but I can't get you out of my mind
Woman on the eastbound train
Sometimes I wanna see you again
Well I got one more thing I wanna say before I go
If you get the message on the radio
You can write a letter, get in touch with me
Leave your number with the company, yeah
Woman on the eastbound train
Sometimes I wanna see you again
