I've come back this mornin' to where I first came alive

Here within this terminal where the buses arrive

I was a commuter on the 804 worked

For a computer on the 19 th floor and

You came down the aisle of the bus

And you sat by my side

Shoulder up to shoulder we shared that 9 o' clock ride

Oh my heart was screamin' as you left your seat

Followin' your movements I was at your feet and

Oh down into the terminal both of us filed

So we entered the terminal just as you smiled

Won't you leave out work for

Today you asked of me then

So I phoned- in sick on the way

To the home of a friend

Could have held up biding my entire life

But I had to get home to the kids

And the wife and

So I left for the terminal where I began

Baby no I wouldn't have left if I'd been half a man

So here I am this morning

Where love had asked for the dance

Here within this terminal where I passed on a chance

Lord I'll never find her though I've truly tried

Probably she's found another bus to ride and

I am now about to begin the last of my days

I'm within what others would call a terminal phase

I myself can only say it's livin' dead

Ridin' to the office with a song in my head that goes

La da da la da da

And you know it grows

La da da la da da
