[Verse 1]

I will be in town tomorrow

Would you meet me at the station

There is something I would like to talk to you about

It's just this thing that has been on my mind forever

And I was hoping we could find a way to work it out


[Verse 2]

By the way, this is Martin

Just in case you have forgotten

What I sound like, yeah, it's been a long, long time

They say that absence helps the heart grow fonder

Ah well, anyway, I'd like to see you, if you don't mind


[Verse 3]

The night the Blue Jays won the pennant

I was sitting in the second row

I thought of you all throughout the game

And how we'd curl up on the sofa on a Friday night

And holler at the players like they could hear what we were sayin'


[Verse 4]

Look, I'm sorry if I hurt you

And I'm sorry that I left

And of late, it seems I'm sorry all the time

Wishing wells and shooting stars have been my friends

And I have come to realise that all the fault was mine


[Chorus]

And I am falling into a world I can't describe

And I am calling 'cause I'd like to say goodbye


[Verse 5]

Hey, I will be in town tomorrow

Could you meet me at the station

If it's just to see your face as the train pulls through

I just wanna see you laugh or cry or shake your head at me

I just wanna see what twenty years has done to you


[Verse 6]

See, I have nothing left to lose

And no time left to choose

If I should let this deadly silence carry on

Twenty years or twenty days is far too long

For two people who once held each other in their arms


[Chorus]

And I am falling into a world I can't describe

And I am calling 'cause I'd like to say goodbye


[Bridge]

Will you take me by the hand

Say you understand

Or will you wanna drive me down onto my knees

These are chances I must take

And I know I must not forsake

Your right to do and feel just what you please

But I don't have a lot of time

To right the wrongs I left behind

To undo all the damage I have done

So I'm calling you to ask for your forgiveness

Is that so much to ask of your son


[Coda]

Hey, I will be in town tomorrow

Could you meet me at the station

There is something I would like to talk to you about
