Sitting on a railway bridge
Singing a cheerful song
With a pretty English girl
I hadn't known for long

We watched that empty railway line
And thought about it so
We wondered from wence it might have come
And to where it just might go

Eating on a railway bridge
Watching the clouds pass by
It seemed so silent sitting there
Wondering... wherefore .... Why....

We drank by that empty railway bridge
A bottle of good french wine
The guitar it hummed and echoed down
That deserted railway line

Laying on a railway bridge
I asked her if we should
After the train comes was her reply
After the train comes ....we would

I waited by that railway bridge
Singing a cheerful song
With a pretty English girl
I should have known all along....
