C Train going downtown

We both got on the C train 

I was exhausted from work 

You sat next to me 

With your beautiful shaggy hair 

And a black guitar case in your hand

We listened to someone sing to themselves

In the front seat without care 

My desire for bed could wait

I could stay in this train with you all night 

Before I could slip a “hi” from my lips

You were gone like the wind

And off at 23rd street 

I hope I see you again
