Claire Bradshaw - You Should Have Gone There With Me Lyrics

You should have gone there with me
Taken the next train
From platform one
But wires were crossed
And messages garbled
Tannoy announcement
Diction unclear

You should have met there with me
Ten past eleven
Under the clock tower
Greeting like strangers
With shy smiles and murmurs
Clutching your hand
As the hours fell away

You should have left there with me
Swinging your suitcase
Leave town forever
No looking back
At the castles and steeples
Cruise down the tracks
To our next destination

You should have sat next to me
Swigging our liquor
From a lemonade bottle
Rolling your joint
With experienced fingers
Hands are entwined
Underneath the table

You should have made love to me
Nervous and eager
Under the arches
Rumble of traffic
Over our heads
As echoes and diesel
Hung in the air

You should have gone there with me
You took the wrong train
It was your decision
You chose the right track
For your condition
No going back
Will never come back
To me
