Softly something comes, the train into the station
She has often waited and wondered if he'll come.
Why has he kept her waiting, Hell from coming home now
Was it trouble (something) 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 like?
Daddy will you stay this time?
Daddy will you walk away?
Shower her with your own tears
Give to her that love (not lost?)
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?
Open now those cold blue eyes
Promise her there'll be no more goodbyes
No surprise
No more surprise
No surprise
