Penn Station at Five
Seems like I been waitin’ here a hundred hours, maybe
more
And though I am trying to be patient…and stop staring at the floor
Seems like that big old train is never going to arrive
Said she’d meet me here in Baltimore at Penn Station at Five.
If these walls could talk what a story they would tell
Of all the lonely lovers looking for the wishing well
They’re waiting in this cavernous hundred year old hall
Their hearts on their sleeves and their backs against the wall
She’s been my long distance lover, sending kisses through the phone
And when I ask her over and over “When will you be home?”
She says “You’ll send me a one way ticket if you really, really care.”
And I’ll meet you at Penn Station… you can wait for me there
Seems like I been waitin’ here a hundred hours, maybe more
And though I am trying to be patient…and stop staring at the floor
Seems like that big old train is never going to arrive
Said she’d meet me here in Baltimore at Penn Station at Five.
She said she got the ticket I sent her overnight express
She said “Make sure you’re there and I will do the rest”
And so I’m waiting in this cavernous hundred year old hall
My heart on my sleeve and my back against the wall
