lyrics

sitting at the window
numbly watching cities pass me by
clutching tightly a ticket that’s taking me home
then tapping on my shoulder
this seat taken stranger? someone asks
even though all I want is to be left alone
I turn my head clear my throat,
smile and say no

as he settles in
face perspiring
I can’t help but cringe
as he lets our knees keep touching
I look at my watch and sigh
‘cause it’s sure to be a long long ride

and he said ask me where I’m going
go ahead and ask me where I’ve been
and I couldn’t care less
but I ask where and when?
oh what have I gotten into?
I wonder if he knows his breath is bad
and as we come to a stop he says,
well this is the end
pulls on his jacket and says
thanks for being a friend

the platform fades away
but awkward memories stay
and now I can’t help feeling alone
but crumpled in my fingers
this ticket says soon I’ll be home

at ten minutes to ten
as the train is rolling in
I can’t help but grin
thinking of my friend
I’m trying to stay awake,
‘cause it sure has been a long
it sure has been a long
it sure has been a long long day
