Iýve come back this morniný to where I first came alive
Here within this terminal where the buses arrive
I was a commander on the 804

Work for a computer on the 19th floor andý

You came down the aisle of the bus and you sat by my side

Shoulder up to shoulder we share that 9 oýclock ride
Oh, my heart was screaminý as you left your seat
Followiný your movements I was at your feet andý


Oh, down into the terminal both of us smiled
So we entered the terminal just as you smiled

ýWonýt you leave off work for today?ý you asked of me then
So I phone-in-sick on the way to the home of a friend
We were all alone from to A.M. till 3

Really thought the fire had gone out of me butý

You woke the sleep of my life from gray into red

Made the weary wonder of Wall Street rise from the dead

Could bare held his body my entire life

But I had to get home to the kids and my lifeý and

So I left for the terminal where I began

Baby, no, I wouldnýt bare left if Iýd been half a man

So here I am this morning where love had asked for the dance

Here within this terminal where I passed on a chance
Lord, Iýll never find her though Iýve truly tried
Probably heýs found another bus to ride andý


I am now about to begin the last of my days
Iým within what others would call a terminal please

I myself can only say itýs liviný dead
Ridiný to the office with a song in my head that goesý


La la la la la la la la la laý
And you know it grows
La la la la la la da daý

Oh, la la la la la da daý
Oh, la la la la la da daý
