I'm Waitin' At The Station
Aaron Neville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can hear it comin' in
That's the train, my baby's on
But now she's gonna bring her home
Got a letter yesterday
This is what she had to say
Meet me at the station a quarter to ten
Waitin' at the station, happy as can be, now
Waitin' at the station for my baby
My lonely nights are over from this day on
Since my baby's coming back home
The train pulled in a few minutes late
But I didn't mind that little wait
That train is carrying medicine for heartaches and pain
For this lonely man
Everybody's gettin' off one by one
Tellin' their friend where they've been and what they've done
But where is my girl, everybody's off the train
She made a fool of me again
Waitin' at the station sad as can be, now
Waitin' at the station for my baby, now
My nights will still be lonely, on and on
Since my baby didn't come home
Waitin' at the station sad as can be, now
Waitin' at the station for my baby
My nights will still be lonely, on and on
Since my baby didn't come home
Waitin' at the station sad as can be, now
Waitin' at the station for my baby
My nights will still be lonely, on and on
Since my baby didn't come home

The opening lyrics of the song are particularly evocative, with the train whistle blowing around the bend, and the singer hearing it coming in. The imagery creates a sense of anticipation and excitement that is quickly dashed when the singer realizes that his lover has not arrived. The lyrics paint a picture of a man whose hopes are dashed, and he is left to mourn yet another loss.
In the song's chorus, the singer repeats his plea, "Waiting at the station, happy as can be, now, Waiting at the station for my baby." This repetition emphasizes the sense of longing and sadness that permeates the song. The verses describe the man's emotions in greater detail, as he reflects on his feelings of loneliness and betrayal. The song concludes on a sad note, with the singer lamenting that his nights will still be lonely, even though he was waiting for his lover at the station.
Overall, "I'm Waiting at the Station" is a soulful, melancholic song that speaks to the deep emotions that come with lost love. The lyrics are full of raw emotion and vivid imagery, creating a powerful and evocative experience for the listener.
