It's 5 o'clock

driving sown Park Lane

as London leaves

for the weekend again

through the dark city streets

in the clinging rain

I take my car

towards the Thames

and Waterloo......

6.02 Waterloo

Was that a face I saw?

No, just a trick of light

It's getting clearer now

but moving out of sight

It's cold and late

and I can't miss that train

I turn around

walk through the arch

of Waterloo

I saw the same hooded face

He beckoned me from the gate
