Lyrics
Platform two, the rain comes down Far away from my own town Suitcase heavy, coat too thin Missing the smell of home within I am homesick on platform two Every window looks like you Kettle singing, light left on Somewhere warm where I belong Strangers hurry, hold their tea Nobody here knows who I be But I can hear my mother's song Humming low the whole night long I am homesick on platform two Every window looks like you Kettle singing, light left on Somewhere warm where I belong The train will come, I'll climb aboard The city lights will fade and fall Home is not a place, it's a door That someone's keeping open for us all Tonight I'll write a little line Say I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine But I will tuck it in the post With every word I miss you most I am homesick on platform two Every window looks like you Kettle singing, light left on Somewhere warm where I belong Light left on Somewhere warm where I belong
