The Train Now Standing
London, Liverpool Street Station. Passing through one evening, on the way back to Ipswich, I noticed a guy standing, looking at his watch. He held a bunch of flowers. A look of growing despair in his eyes. I don't know if she ever showed, but the song title came into my mind, and I worked it from there.

Lyrics
A railway station - dark December
But it's darker in my heart
Beneath this rainy moon my baby's leaving
She's gonna make a brand new start
Pain just coming down
Falling like the rain
And the train now standing
And the train now standing
And the train now standing
Has come to take my love away
Has come to take my love away
Ain't nobody gonna see my face tonight
In all it's sorrow
Ain't nobody gonna see it all
Wow, wow, could you see me?
Could you hear me babe
When I was falling?
Could you hear me calling?
Pain just coming down
Falling like the rain, wow, wow
And the train now standing
And the train now standing
And the train now standing
Has come to take my love away
Has come to take my love away
I can hear that lonely whistle blowing
I can hear that engine start
When you walk away from my love baby
You know you're gonna break my heart
Just break my heart, listen to me
There were tears in your eyes and your lips were trembling
When you said that we were through
Now I watch my life just flash before me
Ah, it's so empty without you
To love or not to love...
That is the question
Still, we all play our part
Beneath this rainy moon you're really leaving
I can't believe the pain that's in my heart
Pain just coming down
Falling like the rain, wow, no
And the train now standing
And the train now standing
And the train now standing
Has come to take my love away
Has come to take my love away
