Lyrics
Linda On The Subway
Linda
On the subway
Riding the train alone
Each night you go my way
Taking the same line home
Linda
Lovely Linda
Know the platform that you'll be on
I'm running to meet ya
Gonna get there before your gone
What's in your eyes
As they follow the signs
Is he what you see
As the stations stream by
Linda
Looking my way
I fumble and fake my phone
I promise you one day
You won't have to ride alone
What would you say
If I moved down your way
Would you lift your hand
Or leave me standing
Linda
On the subway
Riding the train alone
Seems I'm going your way
Would you mind if I ride along
I'll just sit here and keep you company for awhile
That's my stop coming up
So good night Linda
See you tomorrow
