All Aboard

ALL ABOARD


Nobody ever misses the very last train.
Oh sure you can dawdle  during the day 
And maybe be kinda late for a  train or so 
Or even miss an important connection
Or a fast track to somewhere - 
Occasionally you might be early for a train
Which is somehow cancelled till another day.  

But nobody ever misses their last train.
When the chips are down 
And there is no other to come  
You get  to the train 
Just as if it were meant to be  -
There is no next one just behind…
You simply must get this one
And when it leaves the station 
And disappears into the darkness
No one is left  on the platform.

Nobody ever misses the last train.

  ...      ...      ...      ...      ...      ...
