Lyrics
I've been packing for a year A little more each night I know the road is waiting But the piano hums tonight The last train out can wait I'm listening to the keys The restless thing inside me Is learning how to ease There's a song in this old room That I haven't sung yet The last train out can wait I'm not ready to forget The window shows the station Small lights along the line I hear the whistle calling But the room feels so kind The last train out can wait I'm listening to the keys The restless thing inside me Is learning how to ease There's a song in this old room That I haven't sung yet The last train out can wait I'm not ready to forget Some nights you go, some nights you stay And both can be a kind of grace Tonight I'll stay and sing it slow With a smile upon my face The last train out can wait I'm listening to the keys The restless thing inside me Is learning how to ease There's a song in this old room That I haven't sung yet The last train out can wait I'm not ready to forget I'm not ready to forget
