The Uncalled Train

[Chorus] Station name, they all recall, But no train for me will call. Only tracks and rusted steel, How these silent moments feel. Stories rush, then fade away, Here I watch, come what may. On this bench, time stands still, My empty heart it does fill. [Verse] Cold screen glows, a fading light, Fifteenth floor, in darkest night. City sleeps, a distant gleam, Trapped inside a waking dream. In my hand, a paper old, Stories that it cannot hold. Rain-soaked ink, a faded sign, No destination now is mine. [Pre-Chorus] The clock hands barely creep around, No hopeful, joyful sound. Just echoes of a passing chime, Stuck outside of space and time. [Chorus] Station name, they all recall, But no train for me will call. Only tracks and rusted steel, How these silent moments feel. Stories rush, then fade away, Here I watch, come what may. On this bench, time stands still, My empty heart it does fill. [Verse] The platform wind, it cuts so deep, Secrets that the sleepers keep. Numbered trains go rushing past, Shadows that forever last. Plastic chairs, so cold and true, More familiar than my view. Of a bed I barely know, Where my restless thoughts don't go. [Pre-Chorus] Signal lights blink green and red, Silent words left unsaid. Another journey starts anew, But never one for me, or you. [Chorus] Station name, they all recall, But no train for me will call. Only tracks and rusted steel, How these silent moments feel. Stories rush, then fade away, Here I watch, come what may. On this bench, time stands still, My empty heart it does fill. [Bridge] The station clock, a heavy beat, Slower than my tired feet. Each departure, every sigh, Underneath a weeping sky. I am neither here nor there, Lost within this empty stare. Just a shadow on the floor, Never asking for much more. [Chorus] Station name, they all recall, But no train for me will call. Only tracks and rusted steel, How these silent moments feel. Stories rush, then fade away, Here I watch, come what may. On this bench, time stands still, My empty heart it does fill. [Outro]
