The Six O'clock Train and a Girl with Green Eyes
Journey of Anticipation: Six O'clock Train and Enigmatic Green-Eyed Encounter
Lyrics
It's hard to concentrate on waiting
Expressing difficulty in focusing while waiting.
Wondering if she will know my face
Contemplating whether the girl will recognize the speaker.
And trying to remember
Attempting to recall a specific time or place.
That it might've been the time
Suggesting uncertainty about the timing or location.
Or maybe might've been the place
Highlighting the ambiguity of the situation.
In an underground railroad station
Setting the scene in an underground railroad station.
Just out of the rain
Describing the station as an escape from the rain.
So much depend on the six o'clock train
Emphasizing the importance of the six o'clock train.
And a girl with green eyes
Connecting the significance to a girl with green eyes.
The hands of the subway clock
Observing the position of the subway clock's hands.
Are almost straight up and down
Depicting a dark tunnel and a potential sound.
Way back in that dark black tunnel
Reflecting on a moment in the past.
I thought I heard a sound
Hinting at uncertainty through a perceived sound.
Will she know me when she sees me
Pondering if the girl will recognize the speaker.
Or wait to hear my voice
Considering the possibility of voice recognition.
When I see her walking through the steam
Imagining the girl walking through steam in a rush hour.
In the maddening rush hour noise
Describing a chaotic rush hour scene.
In an underground railroad station
Reiterating the setting in an underground station.
Just out of the rain
Emphasizing the escape from rain in the station.
So much depend on the six o'clock train
Stressing the dependence on the six o'clock train.
And a girl with green eyes
Highlighting the association with a girl with green eyes.
So silly in my nervousness
Admitting to nervousness in a lighthearted manner.
So crazy in my fear
Acknowledging a sense of irrational fear.
I asked a man with a brown suit on
Seeking information from a man with a brown suit.
"Does the six o'clock stop here?"
Inquiring about the six o'clock train's stop.
He reassured my quickly
Receiving reassurance from the man in the brown suit.
And turned as if in pain
Noting a quick reassurance and a possible hint of pain.
And I wondered maybe he like I
Speculating on shared dependence on the train.
Depended on the train
Considering the man's reliance on the train like the speaker.
In an underground railroad station
Repeating the scene in the underground station.
Just out of the rain
Reiterating the escape from rain in the station.
So much depend on the six o'clock train
Emphasizing the significance of the six o'clock train.
And a girl with green eyes
Reaffirming the connection to a girl with green eyes.
