I looked out of the train window
I saw a young woman sat next to the sitting statue on the bench
if you didn’t know he was not real you would never know
The woman sat opposite me gets a call
it doesn’t matter if you are gay she tells her daughter
I love you regardless we will work it out don’t worry
look I really really love you but I haven’t come across anything like this before look lets leave it there darling I’m coming into the station
she lies
then puts the phone down
and she looks at me
her lie is safe with me but our journey goes on
