Miss the Last Tram (버전 2)

Verse 1

Red leaves skid along the tracks

You read your watch like it's the bill

The tea shop pulls its shutters down

But leaves a lantern on the sill

The whole street's leaning in to hear

What neither one of us will say

Your hand slips into my pocket

Like it already knows the way

Pre-Chorus

The board says ten past eleven

The bell is ringing soft and low

Let everybody else go running

I'm in no hurry, so

Chorus

Let's miss the last tram

Watch it rattle out of view

Let's miss the last tram

I'll take the long way home with you

Verse 2

The driver tips his cap at us

Like he's in on the joke tonight

The rails go humming down the hill

Then fold into a string of light

Now it's only lamps and us

A vending machine starts to hum

You say we'll freeze before we're home

I say that's how good stories come

Pre-Chorus

The board says ten past eleven

The bell is ringing soft and low

Let everybody else go running

I'm in no hurry, so

Chorus

Let's miss the last tram

Watch it rattle out of view

Let's miss the last tram

I'll take the long way home with you

Bridge

Tomorrow there's an early one

I'll ride it with your scarf on me

And every time the bell rings out

I'll grin like I got off scot-free

Final Chorus

Let's miss the last tram

Watch it rattle out of view

Let's miss the last tram

I'll take the long way home with you

Outro

Oh, I'll miss the last tram

The way you'd miss a friend

Let's miss the last tram

Again, and again
