It was a cold night on the platform
Waiting for a chance to see the pilgrim perform
The metal chairs with ice on at York station
Left my legs in suspended animation
Memories flooding in of distant places
Looking at the time stars in my eyes
Being stuck in Paris was just a dream
While trains go by in reds and green
Looking for something to hold on to
Your hats pulled down to be incognito
Stranger things happen as you see him running
Through the streets at night while the winds still blowing
If you’re one of the lonely people reading
Or sitting on the platforms, the pigeons feeding
The old and fat and ugly vermin
Waiting for some company you are yearning
Looking up I close my eyes tightly
The sun, like a laser shining brightly
Looking for comfort I glance over
And see a room and feel quite sober
The waiting room has a rusty lock
Wood floorboards echo with heels that knock
After the fire sits a girl called Wendy
A brief encounter if is she is friendly
There you are Zippy this is just for you
Just one more phrase that I must do
Oh oh oh and oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
