The song you'll never play

I met her on a train
she was sitting all alone
I asked her where she was going
she said she was going home

there was something there between us
we both felt it right away
two lonely hearts reaching out
on a cold and misty day

CHORUS
don't you sometimes wonder
don't you sometimes feel afraid
that the song that was written for you
is the song that you'll never play

I asked her where her home was
and I listened with surprise
she was heading in the wrong direction
and you could see it in her eyes

she had got on to the wrong train
but was staying for the ride
as she felt safe where she was sitting
and scared of the world outside

I know that we are strangers
but that's all we ever are
together we can leave this train
we can travel far

she said I'm sorry my dear stranger
I'm sure that you are right
but I'm not strong enough to leave this train
and face the misty night

I hear that she's still riding
on the same old train
but the doors won't close and the roof now leaks
and lets in the mist and rain

so before you get onto a train
on a dark and misty day
remember it's so hard to leave
and it only goes one way
