The will to love

Been on this train for an hour now
And the sky doesn't seem to have moved
There's a cloud up there in the shape of a rose
And i suddenly remembered how i met you
There's a girl sitting over from me
With a passport and a magazine
She's wearing a coat a little large for her
And i know how it feels to be lonely
To lose the will to love

And on that first afternoon
When you threw your shadow across my room
Even then i think i knew
Someone somewhere was waiting
But oh those last days
Oh those last days
I might not have been there at all
I could have walked right through the wall
And lost the will to love

By the time that you wake up
We will be worlds apart
Me with my faith in names and wheels
You with your magnet for a heart
But oh those first days
Oh those first days
A four line good-bye letter
Oh you can do better than that
You still have the will to love...
