Lyrics

Empty station

Describes a desolate or unoccupied train station.

He is waiting on a silent afternoon

A man is waiting during a quiet afternoon.

Summer's waning and today they

Indicates that it's the end of summer, and they have a limited time (an hour or two).

Only have an hour or two

Emphasizes the short duration of their meeting.

She comes into view

Refers to the woman arriving at the station.


Leave the world for a moment with you

Suggests a desire to escape the world temporarily together.

Shades of gray slowly fade into blue

Depicts a transition from gloominess (shades of gray) to a more positive state (blue).


In her face he looks for traces

The man examines the woman's face, searching for reminders of the person she used to be.

Of the woman he once knew

Expresses nostalgia or longing for the past.

Not forgetting, past regretting

Acknowledges past regrets without dwelling on them.

Hidden hours and hotel rooms

References hidden moments and shared experiences in hotel rooms.


Endless yearning

Describes intense and enduring desire or longing.

Hope is burning, time for moving on

Suggests a decision to move forward despite the burning hope.

Seasons turning, never learning

Reflects on the cyclical nature of life's lessons, yet not fully grasping them.

Finally leaving each alone

Implies a resolution to leave each other alone.


Leave the world for a moment with you

Reiterates the desire to escape the world momentarily with the woman.

Shades of gray slowly melt into blue

Reinforces the positive transformation in their emotional state.


Endless yearning

Recalls the enduring desire or yearning for something unattainable.

Hope is burning, time for moving on

Reiterates the decision to move on despite the persistent hope.

Words unspoken, hearts are broken

Highlights unspoken words and broken hearts as part of the parting process.

Finally leaving each alone

Confirms the ultimate departure, leaving each person to their own path.
