Grand Central Station Lyrics - Between Here And Gone - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Got my work clothes on full of sweat and dirt 

All this holy dust upon my face and shirt 

Heading uptown now just as the shifts are changing 

To Grand Central Station 

I Got my lunchbox, got my hard hat in my hand 

I ain't no hero mister, just a working man 

And all these voices keep on asking me to take them 

To Grand Central Station 

Grand Central Station

I want to stand beneath the clock just one more time 

Want to wait upon the platform for the Hudson Line 

I guess you're never really all alone 

Or too far from the pull of home 

And the stars upon that painted dome still shine 

I made my way out on to 42nd street 

I lit a cigarette and stared down at my feet 

Imagined all the ones that ever stood here waiting 

At Grand Central Station, Grand Central Station 

And now Hercules is staring down at me 

Next to him is Minerva and Mercury 

I nod to them and start my crawl, flyers covering every wall 

Faces of the missing all I see 

Photos 

Tomorrow I'll be back there working on the pile 

Going in and coming out single file 

Before my job is done there's one more trip I'm making 

To Grand Central Station, Grand Central Station 

Grand Central Station, Grand Central Station
