Rupert Holmes - Terminal lyrics
[Rupert Holmes - Terminal lyrics]
I've come back this morning to
Where I first came alive
Here within this terminal where
The buses arrive
I was a commuter on the 804
Worked for a computer on the 19th floor and
You came down the aisle of the bus
And you sat by my side
Shoulder up to shoulder we shared
That 9 o' clock ride
Oh my heart was screamin' as
You left your seat
Followin' your movements I was
At your feet and
Oh down into the terminal both of us filed
So, we entered the terminal
Just as you smiled
"Won't you leave off work for the
Day?" you asked of me then
So I phoned in sick on the way
To the home of a friend
We were all alone from 10 AM 'til 3
Really thought the fire had gone
Out of me but you awoke the sleep of my
Life from gray into red
Made the weary wonder of Wall
Street rise from the dead
Could have held her body my entire life
But, I had to get home to
The kids and the wife and
So I left for the terminal where I began
Baby no
I wouldn't have left if I'd been half a man
So here I am this morning where
Love had asked for the dance
Here within this terminal where I
Passed on a chance lord, I'll never find her
Though I've truly tried
Probably she's found another bus to ride and
I am now about to begin the last of my days
I'm within what others would
Call a terminal phase
I myself can only say it's
Livin' dead ridin' to the
Office with a song in my head that goes
La da da and you know it grows
La da da la da da
Where I first came alive
Here within this terminal where
The buses arrive
I was a commuter on the 804
Worked for a computer on the 19th floor and
You came down the aisle of the bus
And you sat by my side
Shoulder up to shoulder we shared
That 9 o' clock ride
Oh my heart was screamin' as
You left your seat
Followin' your movements I was
At your feet and
Oh down into the terminal both of us filed
So, we entered the terminal
Just as you smiled
"Won't you leave off work for the
Day?" you asked of me then
So I phoned in sick on the way
To the home of a friend
We were all alone from 10 AM 'til 3
Really thought the fire had gone
Out of me but you awoke the sleep of my
Life from gray into red
Made the weary wonder of Wall
Street rise from the dead
Could have held her body my entire life
But, I had to get home to
The kids and the wife and
So I left for the terminal where I began
Baby no
I wouldn't have left if I'd been half a man
So here I am this morning where
Love had asked for the dance
Here within this terminal where I
Passed on a chance lord, I'll never find her

Probably she's found another bus to ride and
I am now about to begin the last of my days

La da da la da da
