2.Daylight swiftly fell away, headlights cut the night like a blade
And the man in dusty clothes hadn't moved
I thought of her so snug and warm, while the dusty man began to snore
And wondered if she was thinking of me
We'd met by chance six months ago and though it's hard I couldn't say no
So every month I ride this bus to meet her
4.The dusty man he leant on me, I tried to straighten him in his seat
Then his hand felt cold in mine
There was no breath upon his face, and no pulse that I could trace
So we rode like that mile after mile
And when the lights of her town appeared I knew that she'd be
waiting there
And I knew the dusty man was at my side
