Melvina Germain - (992) Danny

Waiting patiently, the train whistle blows.
Afraid, nervous, what if he doesn’t show.
My life, my love, please be there,
I’ve waited so long, shed many a tear.

The train has stopped, with passengers unboarding,
My body is shaking, perspiration is pouring.
Blood pressure at it’s peak, I’m weak on my feet.
Anxiety attacking, my heart heavily beats.

Please Danny, please come through that door.
The conductor is taking the stool off the floor.
The train is moving, the last passenger out.
Oh where are you Danny, I’m starting to shout.

I slowly turned, started walking away.
Crying, sobbing, I’ve wasted another day.
Danny doesn’t love me, he played me for a fool.
Oh I thought he was the accept ion to the rule.

I reached home, sat down on my bed
Disappointed, sad, so full of dread.
The telephone rang, I heard a faint voice say,
so sorry to inform you, Danny passed away.
