Bound For Morning - 17 Hippies

She was standing at the bus-stop in the rain

When he stumbled she didn’t laugh

And as he picked himself up their eyes met and she smiled

and then … she turned away, got on the bus in the rain

Leaving him standing there bound for morning

What’s to say?

She just was on her way

He never found his way home

What he found was what he had to follow… forgetting time

Never turning away, he just stood everyday

Waiting for her to get off that next bus, that pulled up to the curb

Taking him to what’s left of tomorrow

And I forgot when they came to take him away

And I forgot all about him, 'till I realised you’re leaving today

Never turning away he just stood there, no time left to borrow

She never came and her smile faded away

I forgot when they came to take him away

I forgot all about him 'till I realised you’re leaving today

As I see you standing at the bus stop in the rain

I’ll stumble and you won’t laugh

And I’ll pick myself up, our eyes’ll meet and you’ll smile

And then you’ll turn away, get on the bus

In the rain, leaving me standing here bound for morning

Yes you’ll turn away, get on that bus

In the rain, leaving me

Bound for morning
