I was talking to John
|
He was dressed all in black
|
He was learning, he said
|
To never look back
|
Bells in his ears
|
He turned and disappeared
|
But I've known him for years
|
Where'd he go?
|
A head full of snow
|
On the late train to heaven
|
|
Augustus my friend
|
Dressed in velvet and scarf
|
He's purging himself
|
He's refusing to laugh
|
Pale as the moon
|
His words fill the room
|
He'll be travelling soon
|
Where's he bound?
|
Higher ground
|
On the late train to heaven
|
|
I whispered to you now
|
But I didn't mean a word
|
It was just a small madness
|
Pretend you never heard
|
Pretend you're here with Larry
|
Pretend you're here with Lee
|
Pretend you're with anyone but me
|
I didn't come with you, I'm gone
|
And my seat's waiting on
|
The late train
|
Forever on the late
|
The late train
|
I'm ready for the late
|
The late train to heaven
|
