My coat was buttoned wrong,
my coffee had no lid
The platform clock was laughing
at the thing I did
I waved at carriage windows
rolling out like rain
Same old morning, I have missed the train again
Missed the train again,
darling, what a way to start
Ticket in my pocket,
thunder in my heart
If time had a mercy,
it would call my name But I missed the train again
The baker knows my order
and my sorry shoes
The porter tips his cap
like I am headline news I promise every sunrise
I will change my game
Then I miss the train again
(doo bah) (la da da)
Maybe I am chasing
more than wheels and steam
Maybe being late is how I keep the dream
Still I hear tomorrow
calling down the lane
Missed the train again,
darling, let the whistle fly
I will find another platform,
I will tip my hat goodbye
If time wants to tease me,
let it play that game
I missed the train again
And I am singing just the same
Ticket in my pocket
Rain on the track Maybe next morning I will catch it
back
