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
