Lyrics

This seat's been taken

What is the meaning of the morning rain
I got a feeling it's no good
I waited for my baby, but she never made the train
Now I'm hoping at the next stop she will be there
She'll catch my eye and satisfy my every care

Chorus:
This seat's been taken
Don't ask me where she's coming from
You're quite mistaken
You know she's gonna' be here
I know she's gonna' come

She must have a reason I will understand
I know she'll turn up by and by
I'll see her standing with a suitcase in her hand
And she'll tell me how she couldn't find a pay phone
She'll start to cry, I'll realize I'm not alone

Chorus
