As the curtain rose, we step into our roles
Stand in our place, inside the station gates
Try to find a place where we can sit awhile
Maybe a familiar face, or a friendly smile
I’m waiting, waiting, on the morning train
To take me where I’ve got to be
Waiting, waiting on the morning train
And it’s bleeding the soul right out of me
We read our books and play our songs
And hope this day won’t last too long
Conversations float down the aisles
Last night’s TV shows, and all the latest styles
I’m waiting, waiting ……
I’m riding the rails but they aren’t leading me to freedom
Just an office where I sit and stare at a computer screen
The money’s so good that I don’t think I can leave it
But my time is counting down, turn my back and it’s gone
As daylight fades, I catch the last train home
I fight to stay awake, although my eyes are closed
The cell phones ring, and the earbuds sing
Until the morning comes, and we do it all again
