Last Train Before Christmas

[Verse 1] Platform six, the clock says ten past nine Snow keeps falling on the yellow line My ticket's crumpled, hand around it tight One more mile of dark and I'll be right [Pre-Chorus] The tannoy calls the final one tonight I've got a scarf you knitted holding onto light [Chorus] Last train before Christmas, don't leave without me There's a window with your name still burning gold Last train before Christmas, I'm running, I'm sorry I've been a year of empty rooms and cold Just hold the door, I'm almost home [Verse 2] I know your kettle whistles half past ten The same old carol crackling once again I traded every city for this seat For steam on glass and gravel under feet [Pre-Chorus] The doors slide shut, the engine starts to climb I count the frozen stations, counting down the time [Chorus] Last train before Christmas, don't leave without me There's a window with your name still burning gold Last train before Christmas, I'm running, I'm sorry I've been a year of empty rooms and cold Just hold the door, I'm almost home [Bridge] And if the tracks give out, if the snow won't clear I'll walk the last ten miles to get to here 'Cause somewhere down this line you left the porch light on And nothing in the world outshines that one [Chorus] Last train before Christmas, you didn't leave without me There's a window and it's opening slow Last train before Christmas, still breathless, still sorry I made it through the dark, I made it home Don't let me go, I'm finally home [Outro] Ten past nine, the bells begin to ring Home is not a place, it's just you waiting Home is just you waiting
