Time of Trains

I will wait for you in an overcoat
Neath a glass clock, as the hours turn and knock
By the old hotel in a blue tiles bar
In the long slow twilight hour

I will take your hand and lead you past the trains
Where the 'so longs' reign with promises to meet again
As the sun dials turn you will feel my heart
Burning with a churning yearn

Don't you ever say "love, anything will change"
While I wait for you here
In a time of trains

I will wait for you as the rain begins
And the vision blurs while I wave and watch the flocks
Set their wings and fly while a weary 'I'
Wishes time would pass me by
