Last Train Optional (النسخة 2)

Verse 1

The bartender folds a napkin like a secret note

The bass player's grinning at the girl in the green coat

You ask me what time it is, I check my empty wrist

Funny how a watch goes missing on a night like this

Pre-Chorus

Down the street the station hums

Counting heads before it runs

Chorus

Last train optional

Keep the ice turning slow

Last train optional

The city's in no hurry, so

Pour me one more measure

Of that low saxophone

Last train optional

I know the long way home

Verse 2

The city leans against the window, nosy as a cat

The neon tries to read our lips, imagine that

You tell a joke so dry it needs a twist of lime

And the drummer sweeps the minutes like he's got all the time

Pre-Chorus

Down the street the station hums

Counting heads before it runs

Chorus

Last train optional

Keep the ice turning slow

Last train optional

The city's in no hurry, so

Pour me one more measure

Of that low saxophone

Last train optional

I know the long way home

Bridge

Somewhere a platform clears its throat

The doors sigh shut on the last note

Let it roll on out of sight

I'm running on piano time tonight

Final Chorus

Last train optional

Keep the ice turning slow

Last train optional

The city's in no hurry, so

Pour me one more measure

Of that low saxophone

Last train optional

I know the long way home

Outro

Last train optional

Sunrise, optional

Keep the ice turning slow
