Standing at the station waving my lover goodbye
Snow falling heavy in the lonely January sky
As the train jerks forward I'm frozen stiff with pain
And I'm clinging to the hope that I'll see my love again
Grey smoke stinging my eyes as you pull away
Just two more helpless victims of war parting ways
Oh God it's 1942
I wonder what I'm going to do
Is he ever going to hold our un-born child?
And I standing frozen to the station
And I cannot move
All in a moment I see my life flash by
It's not just me he's leaving another waits inside
And now the train's out of sight
Is it ever going to be the same?
And I'm clinging to the hope that I'll see my love again
I slowly tear myself away toward our happy home
But it's never been the same since you've been gone
