The Old Station Clock

Beneath this station clock

Is where I let her go

I thought she'd seen it coming

But oh the tears they flowed

She turned away her breaking heart

And it laid me low

Beneath this station clock

Is where I let her go

Beneath this same station clock

Another said farewell to me

And it was I who turned away

So my tears she couldn't see

And the irony wasn't lost on thee

Beneath this same station clock

She said farewell to me

Beneath the station clock

A third girl I first met

Who mended my broken heart

With hers in one was set

And though she's loved and missed

I still see her yet

Beneath the station clock

Where we first met

Beneath the station clock

Now alone I stand

Thinking of the heart I broke, that broke mine

And the one who took me by the hand

And time it marches on

Through fumbled fingers sand

But beneath the station clock

Still and alone I stand

And the only one

Who knows my joys and pains

Stands indifferent in its tower and over this world reigns

Over arriving and departing hearts and hands

And trains

The only one who knows my joys and pains
