The Last Bus

I never made the girl cry

'Cause she was half way across the country when I tried

And she can't stop and she can't stop and

Who knows who she's running from

But he's bootlegged and fire-armed and he ain't much fun

The train track's rattling, the wistful sound

You wash out you wake up your scared to look round

But there's people and people

And shadows of the birds

Singing songs of their hard times

And still lost for words

And I finds myself sighing

Here praying, two timing

It's OK darling I'm just nearly dying

And you won't say what you don't know

So I think it's time that I should go

Cause you missed the last train

The last plane, the last bus

And now you're telling me you're missing us

And you should come inside

Cause it's gonna rain so hard

It'll raise the tide

Smile again and I'll say yes

You live in dreams and sow up seams

Of old clothes in the hallway

You're arms were crossed with mine

And I was right on time

To see you out, you were right about that

Cause you missed the last train

The last plane and the last bus

And now you're killing me

Saying you're missing us

Where to now?

It's all you talk about with me

So please come down from your balcony

I've been waiting for hours

my hands on my knees

my head getting lower with a blanket of sleep

and I'm pretty tired and you're pretty too

And boy, I've been dreaming

Dreaming of you

Boy, I've been dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
