I sat on the doorstep and watched her slowly walk away She wasn't sad, she wasn't angry Does she ever hear a word I say ? I was only a dumb kid playing parts I'd studied for a day but I'm no actor could never say a line to save my life So what's the matter with indifference ? It's just an easy way to kill the pain You can't be crying when you're travelling even when you know you've missed the train So take your time, don't you worry I'll be waiting, you know I'll be waiting Don't want to be a ploughboy seen my father break his back that way I'm not a dreamer, I'm a builder at least that's what the voices say I can't let love spoil my chances can't let a girl stand in my way So it's the best thing to tell her I'm just leaving for a day and what's so wrong about deception maybe I could change my mind and stay You can't be crying, while your travelling it won't be me that's crying anyway.
