Dobbs Ferry
1.
The first time I met you on the train, I looked back countless times,
Trying to make sure you're the one in the bookstore,
And I'm sure you are
I want to speak, but I can't find the time
The train has arrived,
I passed by your side and finally got up the courage
"Have I seen you anywhere?"
I told a friend that I met a woman on the train
He told me I should take you to his apartment
Empty, sheets clean
I was at the terminal that night waiting for the return train
Exactly, I'm also waiting for you
I imagine the conversation that might happen when we meet
I hold the water glass and talk to myself in the air
looks so silly and funny
Margaret Timor, Jasmine
That's a nice name, I mean it
I tentatively asked if we could ride in the same car every day
you tell me friday
Then I got off at Tauber Ferry
2.
I started to keep wanting to meet you, every time I couldn't wait
Even though there are so many barriers between us
We kept chatting, we kept laughing
Almost forgot the time to go home
Yes, Ann is waiting for me at home, and Mike and Joe
That day, you wore a blue striped shirt, a beige suit jacket
and a dark blue dress
I remember because you are so beautiful
I took you to my friend's house,
We kissed, trying to rub each other inside
But we did nothing
With my head on your neck, we can't do anything
On the train back, we held each other's hands
Tauber Ferry Station is here
Can we meet again?

I haven't seen you since then
On the train, in the mall, not once
My heart is not here anymore,
Sometimes it might be better not to cheat, so I confessed to Ann
we are separated
Maybe we'd be separated without you
I drove quietly to your house
Just stopped not far away, just want to see you
But I can't do anything
I'm about to leave for Houston thinking we might never get another chance
Finally called you and I know I shouldn't
Please forgive me
I still can't see you
as i expected

One year later, Christmas is here again
I'm back in New York
Maybe it's because of you, maybe I'm expecting something
The Tauber Ferry house is up for sale
Maybe want to start a new life
