Airrace: Brief encounter [lyrics]

Airrace

Brief encounter

And as we reached the station

The train was standin' by

I tried so hard to keep myself

From lookin' in your eye

And as I glanced away

And saw the case

I felt the tears

Come rollin' down my face

Looking through the window

I heard the whistle blow

I needed no remindin'

It was time for you to go

But standin' there beside

The railway track

I told myself that you'd be comin' back

My haunted memory

Serves me very well

No need to spell it out

As if you couldn't tell

Our bried encounter

Was a moment to retain

Too good a memory

Should never live again

So near, but so far away

Start your journey today

Take a ticket for a fast train

Meet me down the line

Take a ticket for a fast train

Don't waste any time

I've waited patiently

To see you once again

Each letter that I write

The message is the same

So near, but so far away

Leave now, please don't delay

Take a ticket for a fast train

Meet me down the line

Take a ticket for a fast train

And don't waste any time

Take a ticket for a fast train

Meet me down the line

Take a ticket for a fast train

Don't waste any time

Take a ticket for a fast train

Don't waste any time

Take a ticket for a fast train

Meet me down the line
