We stood in the shrill electric light,
Dumb and sick in the whirling din
We who had all of love to say
And a single second to say it in.“Good-by!” “Good-by!”—you turned to go,
I felt the train’s slow heavy start,
You thought to see me cry, but oh
My tears were hidden in my heart.
Dumb and sick in the whirling din
We who had all of love to say
And a single second to say it in.“Good-by!” “Good-by!”—you turned to go,
I felt the train’s slow heavy start,
You thought to see me cry, but oh
My tears were hidden in my heart.
