Late Train To London Lyrics - Singles - Darden Smith

On the late train to London 

A woman dressed in black 

Is talking on her cell phone 

I'm listening at her back 

She says, "Now darling 

Don't be such a kid 

My man treats me better 

Than you ever did" 

Catching her reflection 

She wipes away a tear 

On the late train to London 

A couple's holding hands 

Been out to the country 

Now they're making plans 

Tuesday dinner, Thursday show 

Shopping Saturday 

Suddenly she to turns him 

To softly say 

"You've got a wife and family 

You'll never leave" 

Secret lovers bear the curse 

The truth is hard but the lie is worse 

Everybody loses, no one wins 

On the late train two women 

Talk and nod their heads 

One says to the other 

"Inside I feel dead" 

"He told me that he was leaving 

I've heard that before 

People asking questions 

Can't hold on much more 

He says he loves me 

What does it mean?" 

Secret lovers bear the curse 

The truth is hard but the lie is worse 

Everybody loses, no one wins 

I've been there, done that, seen it 

One day you will see it too 

Whatever you're running from 

Will follow you
