Eastbound Train Lyrics

It was New Cross Station, I was going on home

Saw you get your ticket, standing on your own

Here come the train about 02:44

I couldn't get a smoker, you took another car 

Yeah, the end of the line, we both had to change,

And you're standing right behind me,

I'm a feeling kinda strange

We got to Mile End Road, my heart skipped a beat,

Standing right behind me, I'm a shakin' in my seat

3-4 minutes and the train comes through,

I'm ridin' on the Central, I'm a-lookin' at you. 

Woman on the eastbound train,

Sometimes I wanna see you again. 

Now I couldn't read a paper, you couldn't read a book,

Kept on taking me another look,

You got off the train, you never looked behind

I tried, but I can't get you out of my mind. 

Woman on the eastbound train,

Sometimes I wanna see you again. 

Well I got one more thing I wanna say before I go

If you get the message on the radio

You can write a letter, get in touch with me,

Leave your number with the company, yeah. 

Woman on the eastbound train,

Sometimes I wanna see you again.
