Saw you at the station   Waiting for a train   I crossed the street and caught the bus downtown   Before the sky opened up   Began to rain   And I had seen you through a mirror    A reflection in the store   The way your eyes looked back so pale blue and glassy   Like you were staring at me from some distant shore      And we'd arranged to meet one Sunday   At the edge of the north pier   An hour passed I bought some candy floss   Then slowly moved on to beer   And the carnival it had rolled over   It had no concern for those alone   I caught the ferris wheel over the city lights   Picked my feet up trundled home   To home   The some penny dropped inside me   Reverberating through the years   I was a friend by obligation   It was around then you'd disappeared   Disappeared      In my vocation as a debt collector   I chanced upon your very name   Well what's the use of growing older    If things just stay the same?   The same   Saw you singing down at Central Station   In that tunnel across the way   The way your voice cut through the wind with such sweet violence   It was like I'd seen you yesterday   Yesterday   You smiled and said 'I'd meant to call you'   I thought 'well you and me's the same'   We write phone numbers in invisible ink   And expect things to stay the same   The same   And that's as false as Father Christmas   And the Tooth Fairy as well   Do you think you'd have missed me   If I'd have disappeared as well   As well   You were singing 'love me two times baby   love me twice today   love me two times girl   I've gone away'      Love me two times baby   Love me twice today   Love me two times girl   I've gone away
