hiding my heart

i dropped you off at the train station
put a kiss on top of your head
watched you wave, i watched you wave

then i went on home to my sky-scrapers
neon lights and waiting papers
that i call home, i call it home

i wish i could lay down beside you when the day is done
wake up to your face against the morning sun
but like everything i've ever known
you'll disappear one day
so i'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away

i woke up feeling heavy hearted
and going back to where i started
morning rain, morning rain

and though i wish that you were near
that same old road that brought me here is calling me home
