Railway Station: Villanelle

I lost my love at the railway station

Dropped me off, then kissed me goodbye

No sir, this wasn\'t a real vacation

 

He didn\'t give me an explanation

Just pat me on the back as I sighed

I lost my love at the railway station

 

Then I departed with his rejection

I watched the cities just pass me by

No Sir this wasn\'t a real vacation

 

I remember his sweet flirtation

When he wanted to be my special guy

I lost my love at the railway station

 

Until he acquired a new revelation

I\'m setting you free, like a butterfly 

No Sir this wasn\'t a real vacation

 

I cried for miles in  humiliation

As the conductor looked me in the eye

I lost my love at the railway station

No sir, this wasn\'t a real vacation
