lyrics

The scrap yard shines in the evening sun
A diamond of dashed hopes fooling no-one
Stolen glances and nervous smiles
The train continues to cover the miles
A station scrolls right into view
Sparking a memory deep inside you
A picture postcard of a long goodbye
The train pulls away and you wonder why

Have you ever have you ever
Felt like this before?
Keep it knocking keep on knocking baby
On my door

The footsteps echo in the station hall
The dragging of wheels across the floor
You want to turn around to see if it's her
The sound stops dead with a slamming door
Your brain says 'move' but you cannot leave
Behind the door there's a frightening scene
The sound of something trying to get free
The door flies open and you try to scream

The memory engulfs you
And you fall to the ground
You hear her voice
A familiar sound
Time to wake up now
Repeats in your head
Your eyes stay closed
As you're frozen with dread
Moments later
There's a touch on your arm
A soothing voice
The sound of calm
The journey has ended
You blink in the light
A memory fading
From the longest night
