Lyrics
The play is over, the lights are low The people file out in the rain I wait at the stop with my coat pulled tight Waiting for the late night train You stand beside me, we do not talk The streetlamp hums above I want to say a word to you But I only hum a song Late bus home, late bus home The windows fog up slow Late bus home, late bus home I do not want to go Sit beside me, shoulder warm The city rolls on by Late bus home, late bus home Just you and I The driver turns the heater up The wipers swing and sway A woman sleeps against the glass A long and tired day Late bus home, late bus home The windows fog up slow Late bus home, late bus home I do not want to go Sit beside me, shoulder warm The city rolls on by Late bus home, late bus home Just you and I My stop is next I stay in my seat I ride one more stop Just to be near Late bus home, late bus home The windows fog up slow Late bus home, late bus home I do not want to go Sit beside me, shoulder warm The city rolls on by Late bus home, late bus home Just you and I Just you and I
