"Lighten Up The Load"

I've been waiting in this station, for what seems like a year
Its midday now but I don't trust the clocks they have in here
And maybe round the corner she'll be stepping off that bus
And then I will remember what it feels like to be us

And now the fog is creeping round the factories and farms
I hope to hell you make it to assail me with your charms
Cause all I want to do now babe is hold you in my arms
So put your bags beside me baby
Right here in the road
Put 'em down, and lighten up the load, put 'em down and lighten up the load

I wonder how you'll look at me, after all this time
I wonder how much things have rearranged within my mind
Cause I'll be so relieved to see you stepping off that bus
Cause then I will remember what it feels like to be us

Will you stand you there smiling with your hands upon your hips
Wearing the same lipstick I last tasted on your lips
Cause I just want you right now baby at my fingertips

So put your bags beside me baby
Right here in the road, put 'em down and lighten up the load
Put 'em down and lighten up the load

If what you're carrying's as heavy as MY heart
I'll need a weeks recovery here within your arms
So put your bags beside me baby, right here in the road
Put them down and lighten up the load, load, load,
Put 'em down. and lighten up the load

So as I'm waiting at the station, feeling famished and afraid
The 8.15 from London comes in eight minutes delayed
And as I'm searching for your features
I'm rehearsing what i'll say
