The ^Clast ^C/Btrain is ^Gnearly due, the ^Gunder^G/F#ground is ^Emclosing soon, And ^Cin the ^C/Bdark de^Gserted station, ^Grestless^G/F# in ant^Emicipation, A ^Cman waits ^C/Bin the ^Gshadows. ^G

^G/F#

^Em

His ^Crestless ^C/Beyes ^Gleap and scratch, at ^Gall that ^G/F#they can ^Emtouch or catch, And ^Chidden ^C/Bdeep with^Gin his pocket, ^Gsafe wi^G/F#thin his ^Emsilent socket, He ^Cholds a ^C/Bcoloured ^Gcrayon. ^G

^G/F#

^Em

Now ^Cfrom the ^C/Btunnel's ^Gstony womb, the ^Gcarriage ^G/F#rides to ^Emmeet the groom, And ^Copens ^C/Bwide and ^Gwelcome doors, but he ^Ghesi^G/F#tates, ^Emthen withdraws D^Ceeper ^C/Bin the ^Gshadows. ^Em

And the ^Emtrain is gone suddenly, on ^Dwheels clicking silently Like a ^Cgently tapping lit^Amany, and he ^Emholds his crayon ^Amrosary T^Cighter in his ^Ghand. ^Em

Now ^Cfrom his ^C/Bpocket ^Gquick he flashes, the ^Gcrayon^G/F# on the ^Emwall he slashes, D^Ceep u^C/Bpon the ^Gadvertising, a ^Gsingle-^G/F#worded ^Empoem comprised of F^Cour^C/B lett^Gers. ^G

^G/F#

^Em

And his ^Cheart is l^C/Baughing, ^Gscreaming, pounding, The ^Gpoem ^G/F#across the ^Emtracks rebounding, S^Chadowed ^C/Bby the ^Gexit light, his ^Glegs take ^G/F#their as^Emcending flight To ^Cseek the ^C/Bbreast of ^Gdarkness ^G/F#and be ^Csuckled by the ^Gnight.
