Grand Central Station lyrics
Song information
Artist: Mary Chapin Carpenter Album: Between Here And Gone
Lyrics
Got my work clothes on full of sweat and dirt All this holy dust upon my face and' shirt Heading uptown now, just as the shifts are changing To grand central station Got my lunch box, got my hard hat in my hand I ain't no hero, mister, just a working man And all these voices keep on asking me to take them To grand central station Grand central station
I want to stand beneath the clock just one more time Want to wait upon the platform for the hudson line I guess you're never really all alone, or too far from the pull of home And the stars upon that painted dome still shine
I paid my way out on 42nd street I lit a cigarette and stared down at my feet And imagined all the ones that ever stood here waiting At grand central station Grand central station
Now hercules is staring down at me Next to him's minerva and mercury I nod to them and start my crawl, flyers covering every wall: Faces of the missing are all I see
Tomorrow, I'll be back there, working on the pile Going in, coming out, single file Before my job is done, there's one more trip I'm making To grand central station Grand central station
Grand central station Grand central station
