END OF THE LINE
I was headed home – On a train downtown
Just across the tracks – You rode the nine uptown
I don’t know you – But I could see
This ride can be just as lonely for you
As it is for me, that’s why
Ever since that day I take the number nine
At that very station at that very time
Hoping that I’ll see you, maybe you’ll see me
Hoping maybe, hoping
CHORUS
Maybe someday
At the end of the line
You could share your secret smile
Laugh a little while
Leave this lonely world behind
Maybe someday
At the end of the line
You could share all of your dreams
I’ll share my crazy schemes
Find what we’ve been missing
And ride it to the end of the line
Day after day
We’re all on that train
Slaving away, and working to pay
A debt we never made
But maybe there’s some place
Where no one rides alone
If we make a connection
I don’t need perfection,
Just baby someone to hold, hold, hold
And that’s why
Ever since that day I take the number nine
At that very station at that very time
Hoping that I’ll see you, maybe you’ll see me
Hoping maybe, hoping
CHORUS
Love is running late and you say you can’t find it
Lonely hearted riders need to be reminded
Love ain’t on a schedule no, but have some faith
Cause maybe it’s on the next train
Maybe some day at the end of the line
Maybe some day at the end of the line
Is this seat taken – Cause my heart is aching
Get on board this train is leaving the station
I know someday at the end of the line
Oh at the end of the line (repeat)
