The platform glows in orange light Another summer says goodnight Your hand was almost touching mine Then disappeared beyond the line The train doors close like a photograph I see your face and hear you laugh August fades into the rails A story told in passing tales If I run, if I call Would the season hear me now? If I fall, if I fall Would you turn around? Last train to summer But I'm leaving without you The night keeps getting younger But my heart knows the truth Last train to summer Where the old lights shine If I can't go back there I'll keep you in the ride Summer, summer Take me one more time Summer, summer You were almost mine The vending machines are humming low Like little stars in a station glow I bought a drink we used to share But your reflection wasn't there The city rolls outside the glass A thousand moments moving past I trace your name on foggy light And lose it somewhere in the night Maybe every summer Leaves before we're ready Maybe every memory Feels light because it's heavy Last train to summer But I'm leaving without you The night keeps getting younger But my heart knows the truth Last train to summer Where the old lights shine If I can't go back there I'll keep you in the ride
