Born near the sea December's cold to me Sometimes, I think about my birth Moved from the coast Trains and tea and toast Sometimes, I like to feel the earth Walkin' down by Edgware Station Lost my direction, lost my fare Found a penny on the corner Save your rations for the war Wednesday morning came A taxi and a train By October, I was in another land Suburbs by a lake Ravines and frozen skates Autumn's breeze was freezing in my hand Walkin' down by Edgware Station Lost my direction, lost my fare Found a penny on the corner Save your rations for the war Ride me back on a train How much is still the same? Is this the way back to my birth? Ride me back on a train How much is still the same? Is this the way back to my birth?
