Lyrics
Down on the platform where the tunnels hum One guitar case, one open drum The last few trains are rolling through Playing a song for nobody, or you Play the last chord, let it ring Echo down the tunnel, let it sing The train is coming, the night is slow Play the last chord, then go Coins on the felt like small night rain Strings that remember every refrain A tired traveller stops to hear And the whole world slows for a moment here Play the last chord, let it ring Echo down the tunnel, let it sing The train is coming, the night is slow Play the last chord, then go Pack it up soft, close the case Warm hands in a cold place The tune walks home inside your head Hummed all the way to bed Play the last chord, let it ring Echo down the tunnel, let it sing The train is coming, the night is slow Play the last chord, then go Play the last chord Then go
