Last Train Home - Lost Prophets

Last Train Home - Lost Prophets

One! Two! Three!

To every broken heart in here
Love was once a part, but now it's disappeared
She told me that it's all a part of the choices that your making
Even when you think you're right
You have to give to take

But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today

But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

I wonder if you're listening
Picking up on the signals
Sent back from within
Sometimes it feels like I don't really know whats going on
Time and time again it seems like everything is wrong in here

But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today

But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

Well we sing if we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing if it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason to ever fall in love

But we sing
If we're going no where
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing with out a reason to never fall in love
To never fall in love again

Play-A-Day (Day 2)

Lights up on a girl sitting waiting for a train in a train station. She sits there alone looking around as if waiting for someone but no one ever shows. She is wearing a large fur coat that while flattering to her does not appear to be something she would commonly be seen in by the way she carries herself in it. In her hand she is holding something small very closely and on occasion glances down at it. Every few moments or so she might utter a few indistinguishable words to herself. She constantly looks around for the person she is waiting for but with no luck. At one point she take the engagement ring she has on he finger off and stares at it before replacing it on her finger. Then as the train sounds its horn the girl stands and in her hand she reveals she'd been holding a picture and places it on the bench with a letter and inside of the letter she also places the ring which she had been wearing and walks offstage to the train. Then moments later a man runs on stage and looks frantically for her to no prevail. He slumps into the bench where he sees the letter in her handwriting and the picture of them together. He then reads the letter outloud.

Man
[Reading the letter] I'm so sorry things came to this. I must assume by now that you either never received my letter or as many had told me, you did not love me as you said. Whichever is true it's too late for us. I have left you a photo in hopes that perhaps something we had was real and that the photo is something you can remember us by. Regardless by now I'm on the last train home. Broken and ruined as my family swore I would be. No more can I say without worthless emotion flowing onto this page. Goodbye love.

Having finished the letter he collapses back into the bench dropping the letter. He then hears the ding of the ring hitting the ground and reaches for the envelope and finds the ring. Lights fade
