It seemed so easy those few months ago
When I had everything to gain
Well I thought I'd escaped but I left it far too late
So I think I'll go back to Cold Harbour Lane
Her father sits with his head in his hands
And her words echo round in his brain
But there's just no other way and he knows he'll have to say
"It's time we took you to Cold Harbour Lane."
See the people in the stations every day
Standing waiting for the train
But if you look in their eyes then you'll quickly realize
They're only going down to Cold Harbour Lane
