If I'm late, darling, don't hesitate Just go without me and I'll see you there anyway If I miss you at the station I want you on that train I don't want a sad sack 'Cause I'll be there come what may Leave a message with the porter Or leave it at the gate Just let me know that you're aboard her Just a word to know that you're safe I walk from Maryland to Silvertown I hoped to catch you in the street I must have missed you by a moment dear I tried the place we always meet So if I'm late darling, don't hesitate Go on your own some And I'll catch you there anyway I might lose some time babe But if I do I'll make amends in an hour When I'm laying down beside you
