Last Train to Clarksville
Journey of Farewell: Last Train to Clarksville's Emotional Departure
Lyrics
Take the last train to Clarksville
Urges someone to take the final train departing to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
Plans to meet the person at the station in Clarksville
You can be there by 4:30
Specifies the time to arrive, aiming for 4:30
'Cause I've made your reservation
Expresses that the speaker has secured the other person's spot on the train
Don't be slow
Encourages promptness, advising not to be slow
Oh no no no, oh no no no
Reiterates the urgency, emphasizing a swift action
'Cause I'm leaving in the morning
States the speaker's departure in the morning and the necessity of meeting again
And I must see you again
Emphasizes the urgency to see each other before the departure
We'll have one more night together
Plans for one more night together before the speaker's departure
'Til the morning brings my train
Indicates the end of their time together when morning arrives
And I must go
Expresses the speaker's need to leave at that specific time
Oh no no no, oh no no no
Reiterates the urgency, emphasizing a swift action
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home
Expresses uncertainty about returning home
Take the last train to Clarksville
Repeats the urging to take the last train to Clarksville
I'll be waiting at the station
Confirms the speaker's presence at the station, waiting for the other person
We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses
Plans for spending time together, mentioning coffee and conversation
And a bit of conversation
Emphasizes the desire for intimacy and connection through kisses and conversation
Oh no no no, oh no no no
Reiterates the urgency, emphasizing a swift action
Take the last train to Clarksville
Repeats the urging to take the final train to Clarksville
Now I must hang up the phone
Signals the need to end the phone call to catch the train
I can't hear you in this
Mentions difficulty hearing due to noise at the station
Noisy railroad station all alone
Expresses loneliness while waiting in the noisy station
I'm feeling low
States feeling down or sad in that moment
Oh no no no, oh no no no
Reiterates the urgency, emphasizing a swift action
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home
Expresses uncertainty about returning home once more
Take the last train to Clarksville,
Reiterates the urging to take the final train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station,
Confirms the plan to meet at the station
You can be here by four-thirty,
Repeats the specified arrival time of 4:30
'Cause I've made your reservation, don't be slow,
Reiterates that the speaker has secured a reservation, urging promptness
Oh, no, no, no,
Emphasizes the urgency once again
Oh, no, no, no,
Reiterates the urgency once more
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.
Expresses uncertainty about returning home, repeating the theme of doubt
Take the last train to Clarksville,
Repeats the urging to take the final train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville,
Reiterates the urging to take the final train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville,
Repeats the urging to take the final train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville.
Reiterates the urging to take the final train to Clarksville
