What I Should Have Said at the Station

Lyrics

You waved from the window, I waved from the floor
The whistle was calling, I couldn't say more
The words that I carried stayed under my breath
And now I am writing them, mile after mile

I should have said thank you for all that you gave
For waiting through winters I wasn't so brave
I should have said sorry for storms that I made
For all of the silences, all of the shade

This is what I should have said
Before the train pulled out
I was proud and I was foolish
And I filled the air with doubt
But the apology I carry
Is as steady as the rails
It will find you down the line
Where the morning never fails

The platform is empty, the clock hands are slow
The pigeons are wandering, nowhere to go
I'm standing where you stood, reading my heart
In the glow of the lamplight, a brand new start

This is what I should have said
Before the train pulled out
I was proud and I was foolish
And I filled the air with doubt
But the apology I carry
Is as steady as the rails
It will find you down the line
Where the morning never fails

Some words arrive a little late
But late is not too late
If love can wait on a platform
Love can learn to wait

This is what I should have said
Before the train pulled out
I was proud and I was foolish
And I filled the air with doubt
But the apology I carry
Is as steady as the rails
It will find you down the line
Where the morning never fails

This is what I should have said
It is not too late
