Lyrics
"Concrete and Tile" (Henry)
West 4th Street station at 3 AM
Concrete and tile and two old friends
Come linger, awhile, love, and wait for
the train
Concrete and tile, no need to explain
One year in two separate lives
Rumbles by in a blink of an eye
One year, all that we've been through
Tonight, it's still just me and you
I know this isn't the last time
I know for the first time I'm fine
And I know in my veins
We're like these trains
They come and go
No, this isn't goodbye
A walk in the village
Talk in Washington Square
"So,how is the new job?"
"Are you happier there?"
The park's sweet relief from the cold steel and glass
A welcome oasis, we don't speak of the past
One year in two separate lives and we carry the burden of time
No, maybe you can't go back
Tonight we leave on different tracks
I know this isn't the last time
I know for the first time I'm fine
And I know in my veins
We're like these trains
They come and go
No, this isn't goodbye
How do you make sense of madness?
And can you take what comes each day?
How do you weather the change that spins
you round and round
And can you make love stay?
Subway lights flicker
Stand clear of the door
It's been good to see you,
But my heart is sore
Next stop tomorrow, I'm leaving alone
And I'll always love you but
I'm learning to let you go
I know this isn't the last time
I know for the first time I'm fine
And I know in my veins
We're like these trains
They come and go
No, this isn't goodbye
