Terminal
I've come back this morning
- I've come back this morning
- To where I first came alive
- Here within this terminal
- Where the buses arrive
- I was a commuter on the 804
- Worked for a computer
- On the 19th floor and
- You came down the aisle of the bus
- And you sat by my side
- Shoulder up to shoulder
- We shared that 9 o'clock ride
- Oh my heart was screaming
- As you left your seat
- Following your movements
- I was at your feet and
- Oh... down into the terminal
- Both of us smiled
- So... we entered the terminal
- Just as you smiled
- "Won't you leave out work for today?"
- You asked of me then
- So I phoned in sick on the way
- To the home of a friend
- We were all alone from 10 a.m. till 3
- Really thought the fire
- Had gone out of me but
- You awoke the sleep of my life
- From gray into red
- Made the weary wonder of Wall Street
- Rise from the dead
- Could have held up
- Budding my entire life
- But I had to get home
- To the kids and the wife and so
- I left for the terminal where I began
- Baby no, I wouldn't have left
- If I'd been half a man
- So here I am this morning
- Where love had asked for the dance
- Here within this terminal
- Where I passed on the chance
- Lord I'll never find her
- Though I've truly tried
- Probably she's found another
- Bus to ride and
- I am now about to begin
- The last of my days
- I'm within what others
- Would call a terminal phase
- I myself can only say it's livin' dead
- Riding to the office with
- A song in my head that goes...
- La da da...
- And you know it grows
- La da da...
- Oh la da da...
- Oh la da da...
- Oh la da da...
