October leaves are falling, so am I
A harvest moon is calling me and I know why
The traffic's like a symphony in blue
In the autumn air, I smell your sweet perfume
I miss you sitting cross-legged in this empty room
Yesterdays are eating me alive
I'm your angel, baby; I've got broken wings
I can't walk, I can't run, I can't drop until you're next to me
So the only thing...
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on the last chance train
Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination
Love, bring me home again
You try to reach me but I've sailed away
You tried to read me but my words got in the way
The music's over but the dance has just begun
I wish that I could just get back to Baltimore
You know I'd scratch, I'd claw, I'd scream 'til I'm raw
Just to fall down at your door
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on the last chance train
Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination
Love, bring me home again
Let the scarecrows laugh coming down the tracks
At the broken hearts that don't come back
'Cause the train has left the station with my pain
Let them forget my name, oh...
I'm on the last chance train
Sitting here, I smoke my nineteenth cigarette
Now all that's left are ashes, butts and my regrets
It's your taste that I just can't forget
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on the last chance train
Let the scarecrows laugh coming down the tracks
At the broken hearts that don't come back
We'll be laughing at them, crying in the rain
It's you and I again, oh...
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on the last chance train
Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination
Love, bring me home again
I'm on the last chance train
It's gonna bring me home to you
Oh, the last chance train
This time I'm coming through, coming through
