I was sitting on the platform
waiting for the train to come
to take my hopes and all my dreams
to the other side of town
to a side that was just as lonely
as the one that I'd come from
I'd been changing sides for twenty years
trying to find were I belong

it was just then a train pulled in
on the other side of the track
the sight of her hit me so hard
and it took my mind right back
to the time that we were married
so many years ago
and it was only then I realised
how much I'd loved her so

CHORUS
I said I had to leave her
as tears fell from our eyes
and through the tears all I could see
was me, myself and I
I said I had to find myself
it sounded so profound
now at last I knew I'd found myself
but hated what I'd found

I know she never saw me there
and that gave me some relief
cause to see me as a broken man
I'd knew would give her grief
she reached across and kissed his cheek
and held her children tight
there's nothing that I've ever seen
as cruel as that sight
