posters invite him
to visit a sunny wonderland
the hostess invites him
and offers to take him by the hand
he won't run to catch his train
umbrella army walking in the rain
do as so many visit Europe by train

down at the station
he's one in a crowd that's dressed in grey
he won't run to catch his train
daily commuters
the same routine each and every day
he won't run to catch his train
