lyrics

i quietly prepare, putting on my headphones
there's a longing on the amtrak i can't put into words
when i saw you there waiting for me
you were just as warm as i knew you would be

i am scared to forget the way the dust danced
in the sunshine peaking through your window
or how you kissed
how my hand felt on the small of your back
knew i'd miss you more
i missed you before we even met

i am last in line for platform nine
and i don't mind
i am last in line for platform nine
and i don't mind

tender perennials are sometimes mistaken for annuals because they are fragile & often don't survive the winter.
