Waiting for the early trains

Kicking cans in the square

Funny how it always rains

On people going nowhere


There is something you don't understand

This city used to be your friend

You're wondering where the life has gone

When did the party end?


Seems so far to the morning light

So long until the dawn

You're a lifetime away from another day

You wonder will it ever come

It's four lonely hours away


The night has lost its shine

The neon's fading glow

It's no time to be caught standing still

At the chill hits four below


The city's gone to sleep

A million dreams removed

Suddenly all the emptiness

Is bearing down on you


Seems so far to the morning light

So long until the dawn

You're a lifetime away from another day

You wonder will it ever come

It's four lonely hours away
