lyrics

I've got some time cause the train is late these songs are full of times like these

Well it's been 5 months since we parked in the car in a field and I watched the morning break over hill-tops and the side of your face now the station's getting empty just me and the telephones

but we don't know what to say so we talk about sunny day postcards and the politics of rain on wedding days and highway love now my phone card's getting empty and outside I can see the moon

we have phone calls from phone booths from Moonbeam to Old Berlin and I miss those morning bells with you in the morning

I've got some time cause the train is late these songs are full of times like these

Well the night has a chill and the hands on the clock are patient and the thoughts in my head are having dirty conversations the kind that make us change phone booths into bedrooms

we have phone calls from phone booths from Moonbeam to old Berlin and I miss those morning bells with you in the morning

I've got some time cause the train is late these times are full of songs like these
