Born near the sea
December's cold to me
Sometimes, I think about my birth

Moved from the coast
Trains and tea and toast
Sometimes, I like to feel the earth

Walkin' down by Edgware Station
Lost my direction, lost my fare
Found a penny on the corner
Save your rations for the war

Wednesday morning came
A taxi and a train
By October, I was in another land

Suburbs by a lake
Ravines and frozen skates
Autumn's breeze was freezing in my hand

Walkin' down by Edgware Station
Lost my direction, lost my fare
Found a penny on the corner
Save your rations for the war

Ride me back on a train
How much is still the same?
Is this the way back to my birth?

Ride me back on a train
How much is still the same?
Is this the way back to my birth?
