Frankie Morenzi - The Last Train Back

Some goodbyes don’t ask for words.

The Last Train Back is a song about standing still while time moves on — a winter platform, a few steps of distance, and everything that’s left unsaid. Inspired by the quiet restraint of the 1950s, it’s a moment of parting that isn’t loud or final, just deeply felt.

From the album Magic in New York.

Lyrics

The Last Train Back

The platform smelled like winter rain
The clock was running fast
You held my sleeve, not saying much
Like you were crying inside

The city stayed behind your eyes
Still glowing soft and blue
I watched the signs roll out of sight
And among them I saw you

I’m on the last train back
And it’s moving too slow
Every mile feels longer
Then it needs to go

You said you’d call when morning came
I said I understood
Some things are better left alone
When everything feels good

The car was quiet, half asleep
Just shadows passing through
I closed my eyes and saw the room
Still smelling just like you

I’m on the last train back
With your name in my coat
I don’t know where this leads us
I just know I’m not alone

If this is all the night allows
I’ll take it just the same
Some loves don’t fade when doors close slow
They only change their name
