I stood in this sunsheltered place 
'Til I could see the face behind the face 
All that had gone before had left no trace 

Down by the railway siding 
In our secret world, we were colliding 
In all the places that we were hiding love 
What was it we were thinking of? 

So I watch you wash your hair 
Underwater, unaware 
And the plane flies through the air 

Did you think you didn't have to choose it? 
That I alone could win or lose it? 
In all the places we were hiding love 
What was it we were thinking of? 

In this house of make believe 
Divided in two like Adam and Eve 
You put out and I recieve 

Down by the railway siding 
In our secret world, we were colliding 
In all the places we were hiding love 
What was it we were thinking of? 

Seeing things that were not there 
On a wing on a prayer 
In this state of disrepair 

Down by the railway siding 
In our secret world, we were colliding 
In all the places we were hiding love 
What was it we were thinking of?
