She was twice as adventurous half of his age
A train station their theatre platform as a stage
Every story begins on the very first page
Where it goes is revealed at the end
Took his seat in the carriage she moved to the next
Once again on the railway some signals got mixed
What has never been broken has never been fixed
Any truth has no need to pretend
A voice over the airwaves announced the delay
Only busses are running the rest of the day
He commenced with the game she knew well how to play
On their wits both had come to depend
She tried hard to sit down just in front and inside
Then her body moved backwards to sit by his side
They learned much of each other that two hour ride
All of time they appeared to suspend
A soft shake of the hand a quick peck of the cheek
Heading off to the hills wearing hippy girl chic
She looked back just the once for a last sneaky peek
At the face of a temporary friend
