There is something quite unremarkable about this city station

Its architecture is dull and predictable and it is quite dark in places

Any advantages that it might have possessed are hidden well

But this is where I catch my trains travelling south

So it holds a special advantage in my quiet reflections

As I know that you are only three hours distant

Our apartment backs onto this railway on one side

And overlooks the southern sea on the other facing

Whenever I leave the drabness of this small grey station

I always feel a certain release and look forward

To sitting with you on our white top sea facing balcony
