Lyrics
I watched its red light shrinking Down the wet and silver line The night out that I hoped for Had unravelled thread by thread My friends had gone before me And my coat was left behind There was only me and the puddles And a streetlamp overhead The last tram left without me Humming softly down the street I stood and let it leave me With the rain upon my feet There's a kindness in the quiet When the evening goes astray The last tram left without me And I'll walk the rest of the way There was laughter in the doorway That I did not quite believe A word I should have swallowed And a word I should have said Now the city holds its breath here In the hush of Sunday eve And the wires hum like a lullaby Above my tired head The last tram left without me Humming softly down the street I stood and let it leave me With the rain upon my feet There's a kindness in the quiet When the evening goes astray The last tram left without me And I'll walk the rest of the way Every window holds a lamp Every lamp holds someone's name I am nobody's tonight And that is almost gentle, just the same The last tram left without me Humming softly down the street I stood and let it leave me With the rain upon my feet There's a kindness in the quiet When the evening goes astray The last tram left without me And I'll walk the rest of the way I'll walk the rest of the way I'll walk the rest of the way
