Catch the 5:30 Train Home to Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Clock on the wall says four-fifteen I’m folding my hopes in a suitcase seam You’re somewhere between the town and the sea Racing the sun and the evening breeze [Pre-Chorus] Every minute stretches like a Sunday drive I trace your name in the window’s light I’ve laid out your coat on the second chair As if you’re already there [Chorus] Catch the 5:30 train home to me Let the whistle carry your heart back Please I’ll be waiting by the door Like I’ve done a thousand times before Catch the 5:30 train home to me [Verse 2] Kettle on low and the table set Your favorite cup where your hands once met Radio hums our old melody I sing along where your voice should be [Pre-Chorus] Streetlights flicker on But I still believe I can hear your laughter on the rustling leaves I count every step on the kitchen tiles Rehearsing our hello smiles [Chorus] [Bridge] If the sky turns dark and the rain runs wild I’ll be your shelter I’ll be your mile If the world runs late and the nights run long I’ll keep your place I’ll stay strong [low vocal register] Just come back to me [crescendo] Come back to me [Chorus]
