The title refers to the book of prose poetry by Elizabeth Smart: “By Grand Central Station I Sat Down And Wept”, published in 1945.
[Verse 1]
Do you ever wonder where love goes?
Up there in the ether I suppose
Sometimes it burns enough to leave a trace in the air
A ghost of me and you in a parallel world somewhere
[Verse 2]
Do you ever think about that walk to the station?
And how it all ended then and there
As if a door just opened and we vanished in the air
Into a parallel world somewhere
[Bridge]
And I know you've wondered
And I wonder as well
And I'm not a secret that you've kept
But my heart broke just that once
I know the place it fell
By Piccadilly Station I sat down and wept
[Verse 3]
Does anyone witness such a disappearance?
One minute you're standing in the rain
The air just seems to shiver and you're never seen again
Never seen again
By Piccadilly Station I Sat Down and Wept was written by Tracey Thorn.
