The girl sitting on the station's stairs

30 2 4
                                    




She's waiting, soft brown eyes and ivory skin

She waited the second he stepped in

For him to come back, for him to call her name

Life passes by, blowing away her fragile frame

Held captive by the rails

Tears rolling down, her heartbeat speeds

As he holds her gaze, as he waves goodbye


She's waiting for him to come back

Waiting for him to come close

She wants to forget as the doors close

That time will pass and miles will roll


He's gone.

He left hope as a goodbye kiss

She's alone.

She's waiting for her thoughts to drift

They don't.

Only silence and empty faces

She clings, holds on to the past

Au revoir

At least it wasn't goodbye.
