Train stations always fill me with dread
Those eerie dark passages where everyone treads
The smell of the fuel, fusty and overpowering
Huge billboard ads that stand over towering
Being mentally assaulted at each and every corner
Buskers that plead for us all to be a monetary donor
All the notice boards swinging way up high
Cranking your neck for your train time to espy
Birds fascinate me that are trapped in the ceiling
Flying round forever till they drop, not appealing
Coffee and cake stands dotted all over the place
Grab a quick sandwich while you're running in haste
Draughty corridors where you wait and you wait
Trying not to get trapped in the silly revolving gate
Stark metal benches take the weight off your feet
Lines of the things cemented in rows straight and neat
Though what I really hate most are the hello's and goodbye's
Groups of distraught people wiping tears from their eyes
The hello part I simply love, friends or family coming home
But the goodbye I detest as I'm stood there alone
The tracks are a clatter and there's a faint smog in the air
And suddenly I am left standing with no one to share
I glance the train as it hurtles along the track
And then start dreaming of the day you will be back
