Railwayed - Kitchens Of Distinction

Softly softly comes

The train into the station

She has often waited

And wondered if he’ll come

Why has he kept her waiting

Held from coming home now

Was it troubled loyalty

Or a brand new family

Will he step down

Onto the platform

Will he stay now

Or go again

Softly something comes

A feeling that she loves him

Remembering his birthday

And sentimental times

Was she really that bad

To force him to silence

Were her tears forgotten

Or was it just that letter of pain

«Daddy will you

Stay this time?

Daddy will you

Walk away?»

Shower her

With your own tears

Give to her

That lovely lost look

Open now

Those cold blue eyes

Promise her

There’ll be no more goodbyes

No goodbyes

Softly something feeling

As if she is just dreaming

Daddy she has been good

You must be here to stay

Slowly steam is rising

She’s shouting as she sees you

She’s running up to hold you

Will your arms be there?

«Daddy will you

Stay this time?

Daddy will you

Go again?»

Shower her

With your own tears

Give to her

That lovely lost look

Open now

Those cold blue eyes

Promise her

There’ll be no more goodbyes

No surprise

No more surprise

Shower her

With your own tears

Give to her

That lovely lost look

Open now

Those cold blue eyes

Promise her

There’ll be no more goodbyes

No surprise

No more surprise

No surprise
