Final Farewell

The platform was cold

under the morning gray You held my hand so tight,

with nothing left to say

You adjusted my collar,

smoothed down the crease

Praying this winter

would bring us some peace

And the steam rose up,

swallowing the track

You whispered soft, "Just promise you'll come back"

But that was the last time I looked in your eyes

Underneath those heavy, unforgiving skies

I boarded the train as the whistle blew low

Leaving behind the only home I'd ever know

(ooh, the only home)

I still keep your letter,

folded in my vest

Though the ink has faded

where it touches my chest

They say the war ended,

the borders were drawn

But I'm still on that platform,

and you're forever gone

Forever gone... (mmmmm)

Just a phantom on the track
