I waited at the station
Until the platform cleared
Tried calling your cell
Heard your message, “Not here!”
You missed the last train
Guess you had to work late
It’s becoming a habit
Always making me wait.
Had a list of reasons
Some better than most
I was getting creative
Though I hated to boast.
Running out of rexcuses
Too many alibis
I knew within my heart of hearts
They were nothing more than lies.
Apparently you met someone
Perhaps you fell in love
The time had finally come for me
To say, I’ve had enough.
We had to talk it over
It was time to tell the truth
I took her hand in my hand
Told her that, in fact …. I knew.
She said that she was sorry
I helped her to move out
It was hard for both of us to say
The truth we knew …out loud.
The grass is always greener
The hope that someone new
Will be just what you wanted
A better fit for you.
Still I go down to the station
Every night, I sit and wait
Maybe some night you will be there
Arriving on the 10:08.
