No, just a trick of light
It's getting clearer now
But moving out of sight

   It's cold and late
   And I can't miss that train
   I turn around walk through the arch of Waterloo

      Rendezvous six-o-two
      Rendezvous six-o-two

I see that same hooded face
He beckons me from the gate
Did you not know, my friend?
Ten years ago was the end

   After the war
   Waterloo was no more
   But your ticket states there is one train it's leaving now
   And there is a place remember my face and Waterloo

   No one told you when to run... You missed the starting gun
 
And you run and you run to catch up with the Sun, but it's sinking;
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The Sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older,
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.
 
   Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time.
   Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines.
   Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
   The time is gone, the song is over. Thought I'd something more to say.

   Where the sun and the moon were as brothers
   And all that was left was to think
 
   They answered my questions with questions
   And they pointed me into the night
   The power that bore me had left me alone
   To figure out which way was right

Silver wings fly beyond reason

On the streets of the city
Only spectres still have pity

Patient queues for the gallows
Sing the praises of the hallowed
Our machines feed the furnace
If they take us they will burn us

Ok, ok
Just a little pinprick. 
There'll be no more, a-a-ah!
But you may feel a little sick.
 
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.
 
   There is no pain, you are receding.
   A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
   You are only coming through in waves.
   Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

      When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
      Out of the corner of my eye.
      I turned to look but it was gone.
      I cannot put my finger on it now.
      The child is grown, the dream is gone.
      I have become, comfortably numb.

No lofty peak, nor fortress bold

   We made our port of call
   A sand so white, and sea so blue
   No mortal place at all

We fired the guns, and burned the mast
And rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried, we sailors wept
Our tears were tears of joy!

   Now many moons and many Junes
   Have passed since we made land
   A Salty Dog, the seaman's log
   Your witness, my own hand

No instinct to guide me, I fled

"If I catch you still with my wife I'll kill you, boy"

   Said slow down boy and they'll carry you home

There could be no way I was going to stay
With a man like that on my heel
He was six foot four and could eat a door
And his fists were like great blocks of steel

But his wife was rude and it seemed so good
To have fun while he was away
While he lived in hope of the sale of soap
Like the cat and the mouse we would play

   Look out behind you, all right
   If you don't leave it alone
   He's gonna hound you all night
   Said slow down boy and they'll carry you home

It was late that night when he came inside
I could see through the glass by the door
For his key had stuck and I praised my luck
As I dived from the bed to the floor

When I heard him yell like a bat from hell
I was out enough down the road
'Twas with no surprise I could feel his eyes
And imagine the gun that he'd load

   Right up behind me all right
   'Cause I couldn't leave it alone
   He will hound me all night
   Said, slow down boy and they'll carry you home
