Last Train To London
Mimi Webb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Packed my winter coat for the road
'Cause this house is getting cold
What was once so comfortable, just don't feel like home

Scattered memories on the floor
From the life we had before
Got my ticket, I'm out the door, I can't stay no more
So, I'll be on the last train to London
Oh, I'm so sorry, darling, couldn't give you what you wanted
So, I'll be on the last train to London
Oh, you can tell your lies
But don't you dare say that I didn't ever try, try
Ooh, I'm going back to London tonight

I'll be staring out through the glass
When I'm miles down the track
'Cause tonight my bags are packed and I won't look back

I'll forgive you for what you said
And the wreckage that you left
Even though we made a mess, know it's for the best

So, I'll be on the last train to London
Oh, I'm so sorry, darling, couldn't give you what you wanted
So, I'll be on the last train to London
Oh, you can tell your lies
But don't you dare say that I didn't ever try, try
Ooh, I'm going back to London tonight

I'm turning off all the lights
I'll lock the door behind
And when I tell you goodbye
You know I mean it this time
I'm turning off all the lights
I'm going home tonight

So, I'll be on the last train to London
I hope one day you'll find someone to give you what you wanted
But I'll be on the last train to London
Oh, you can tell your lies




But don't you dare say that I didn't ever try, try
Ooh, I'm going back to London tonight
