What's the point of listening
When you're leaving anyway
When it's time to see your leave
You'll be standing here with me
But you'll never forget when
We were together in all ways
But I'll keep on believing
That things won't go on this way

And you're off on the airplane
The Amtrak and railways
Going to that new place
The liking of your taste
And I wish I could see you
But you're gone and far away
Though I wish I could touch you
But you're gone and far away

And in some time it will be that way
But in this life it is hard to say
That if we could meet someday
But it's not our time and you will be far
I don't care about anyone else but you
I don't care about anyone else but you

Well after you're done there
Come right back to me
Take my hands through your hair
You are spectacular
But I have to wonder
If you'll see me again
But we have but one choice
And you will be far away

Though I wish I could see you
Though I wish I could touch you
Though I wish I could see you
Though I wish I could touch you
But you are far away
