The Traveller

I sometimes walk through the station as it is a place to people watch, I occasionally sit and watch the characters, the stressed commuters, mothers with toddlers excited by the adventure of the train journey ahead, the occasional lovers embracing as they see each other ir the tears and sorrow of a sweet goodbye.

I am a traveller not a tourist, and for me often the point of the journey is not to arrive and here another traveller, I wondered from whence he came and for where is he bound... an adventure, a rendezvous, who knows but it got me to thinking about the distance between us and the want to be near and again a lyric meandered through my mind which I think sums up how we feel when we need to be near those we love and care for... I'd take a thousand photographs, hoping black and white might do...

I could fold these days in to perfect notes and
send them off to you.
I'd take a thousand photographs,
hoping black and white might do.
Too much magic to describe,
everyday a dozen mysteries.
Stories in between the lines,
whispering and listening.

Would it all be the same if I called and you came,
if you could get here tonight?
Would the light in the sky be as clear and as bright,
if you could get here tonight?

Be right beside me, I think it might be.
If I knew just how your voice would sound,
I'd call you up tonight.
And wrap myself around the phone
and turn off all the lights.
Whose to say ?I?m sorry baby!?
and whose to say ?I know.?
Haven?t we been through this all before,
all this anymore.

Would it all be the same if I called and you came,
if you could get here tonight?
Would the stars in the sky be as clear and as bright,
if you could get here tonight?
Be right beside me, I think it might be.
Alone at all distils to this,
alone and captured in a box.
Lost and found once in a kiss,
locked away.

Would it all be the same,I don?t know, I don?t know,
if you could get here tonight?
If I called and you came, I don?t know, I don?t know,
if you could get here tonight.

Would it all be the same?
If I called and you came?
If you could get here tonight.
If you could get here tonight.
Be right beside me.
I think it might be.
I think it might be.

Enjoy
