Mark Knopfler - Eastbound Train lyrics

rate me

It was New Cross Station, I was going on home

Saw you get your ticket, standing on your own

Here come the train about 02:44

I couldn't get a smoker, you took another car

Yeah, the end of the line, we both had to change

And you're standing right behind me

I'm a feeling kinda strange

We got to Mile End Road, my heart skipped a beat

Standing right behind me, I'm a shakin' in my seat

3-4 minutes and the train comes through

I'm ridin' on the Central, I'm a-lookin' at you

Woman on the eastbound train

Sometimes I wanna see you again

Now I couldn't read a paper, you couldn't read a book

Kept on taking me another look

You got off the train, you never looked behind

I tried, but I can't get you out of my mind

Woman on the eastbound train

Sometimes I wanna see you again

Well I got one more thing I wanna say before I go

If you get the message on the radio

You can write a letter, get in touch with me

Leave your number with the company, yeah

Woman on the eastbound train

Sometimes I wanna see you again
