in car 1399
theres a guy with a quarter in his ear
and ive seen leif only once in the past 2 months

his hair is stickin up a little in the front
yeah he's losin it just a bit
when i get home tonight
i'll miss him in hampshire
yeah

his glasses
the way he writes in purple pen
the way his collar falls to the left
have you seen his ankles lately?

oh he's next to me
i feel his sweater here
but when im sleepin its only green sheets
and the hair down my legs

think i'll write to leif
when i'm near Tuesday
sometime before you go
back on the train

in car 1399
theres a guy with a quarter in his ear
and ive seen leif only once in the past 2 months

his hair is stickin up a little in the front
yeah he's losin it just a bit
when i get home tonight
