Lyrics:
[From February 19, 2000 web broadcast with Beth Orton]

Take me to the station
Put me on a train
I got no expectations
To pass through here again

Once I was a rich man
Now I am so poor
Never in my sweet short life
I felt like this before

Your heart is a like a diamond
You throw your pearls at swine
And as I watch you leaving me
Pack my peace of mind

Your love is like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love was like the music
It's here and then it's gone

So take me to the airport
Put me on a plane
I got no expectations
To pass through here again

Take me to the station
And put me on a train
I got no expectations
To pass through here again
