lyrics

Cherry pie at Victoria station
I’m trying to get out of the smoke

Sat singing, the world going by
For a gap in the storm clouds, broke

And i’m aiming for the night train
I wanna cross the sea

“Last call,” said the Duke of York
And “If you’re up or you’re down, time, please”

Where do you run too
When you wander away
And how do you deal with it
When your world is turning grey

Once in your lifetime
Did you fair thee well
What tomorrow brings
No one of us can tell

Chorus

Loneliness, a rhyme without a reason
Empty like the bottle down your throat
Maybe I’ll find something to believe in
Maybe’s why i’m stepping on the boat

Verse 2

Getting high on sweet liberation
And being one that she saves

Looking up at the star filled sky
And laughing back at the Jesus waves

Yes, they could pull me under
God given by rote

I’ve heard ‘em shouting it out on high
Buddha smiles, and the Angels float

Wherever you run to
You’re just paving the way
Through the darkness of your night time
To the morning of the day

Chorus

Loneliness, a rhyme without a reason
Empty like the bottle down your throat
Maybe I’ll find something to believe in
Maybe’s why i’m stepping on the boat
