We Haven't Been There Yet

You were reaching for a guidebook In the shop beside the train I was trying to look interesting You just asked me for my name

We split the price between us Said we'd give the trip a try It rained for seven days in Devon We stayed another night

We haven't been there yet There's a window and a world to see You can have the seat beside it If you tell me what I'm going to miss Twenty-five years of knowing you And a million things we haven't said Lay your head upon my shoulder We haven't been there yet

You had circled it in pencil Every spring we'd say, "This year" Then the boiler needed fixing Or a friend would need us here

Now you're standing on the platform With the tickets in your hand There's a little dance you're doing That you don't know you're doing when you're glad

We haven't been there yet There's a window and a world to see You can have the seat beside it If you tell me what I'm going to miss Twenty-five years of knowing you And a million things we haven't said Lay your head upon my shoulder We haven't been there yet

We made a life that fits us And it changes as we change You've brought a book I'll borrow I've forgotten mine again When the last town disappears And the glass turns dark and blue I can see you in the window Looking back at me the way you do

We haven't been there yet There's a window and a world to see You can have the seat beside it If you tell me what I'm going to miss Twenty-five years of knowing you And a million things we haven't said Lay your head upon my shoulder We haven't been there yet

We can stay another night We can stay another night
