I sit alone by the railway station
My train's leaving now -
You wave and I cry...
While sit and watch newspapers fly
Across the empty sky...
And lovely lady smiles
She's giving out signed photographs -
I try to keep 'em dry...
Don't ask me why?
When see winter in my eyes...
Just see umbrellas flying -
And I follow them
To see people falling -
I follow them
See myself standing
Down in the pouring rain -
While all your songs -
They go to heaven...
All my songs -
They go to war...
Then I take my ride
On a giant whale's back
To the land I'll never find
Who'll meet me there?
Who can call my desire?
Still lovely lady smiles
She asks me
If I would sing another blues...
I said "I wish I could... "
In the way I lose...
Hear seagulls crying -
I run away
Kings come denying -
I'm not afraid
Find myself trying
But not containing....
While all your songs -
They go to heaven...
All my songs -
They go to war...
