The Lilac Time - The Girl Who Waves At Trains lyrics

The streets I left were always wet and grey To half imagined west I made my way To where the kettle always sings And walking down the lane Your long hair swings You are the girl that waves at trains In the cool September rain You know I'll never live up to my dreams The ones I spend with you The way you wave a flower blooms I won't pester or presume I love you through the diesel fumes I want to make my way with you I had to leave the city I was stifled by success When the blue make money They always make a mess So give me wine and soda bread Moonshine on the field And on your bed You are the girl that waves at trains In the cool September rain You know I'll never live up to my dreams The ones I spend with you The way you wave a flower blooms I won't pester or presume I love you through the diesel fumes I want to make my way with you You're as welcome as a Christmas rose Like a shotgun in a field of crows As breathless as my fifth form prose You are the girl that waves at trains In the cool September rain You know I'll never live up to my dreams The ones I spend with you The way you wave a flower blooms I won't pester or presume I love you through the diesel fumes I want to make my way with you
