Went to the station to catch the train <br />Patiently waiting in the pouring rain <br />Took neither my bag nor my dog today <br />Couldn't hope for a further delay <br /> <br />Then I hear the engine's roar <br />Can't imagine I stand at the door <br />Whistle howls like a wolf at night <br />There's no time for another fight <br /> <br />Slowly winding like venomous snakes <br />Train comes rolling in and brakes <br />Right on time but a one-way track <br />Life goes on no turning back <br /> <br />Station master shouts at the horde <br />Doors closing! Time to board! <br />And the dog that I had to leave behind <br />Was the very last thing on my mind <br /> <br />Copyright © 2008 Göran Gustafsson.
