Guy in the Tie
lyrics by Christine Murray
See her every morning on the train
Blue eyes behind square black frames
She struggles with her bag to get at her book
Last week Anais Nin
This week Virginia Woolf
If she sits next to me
It will be a good day
Or maybe just a glance
Sent my way
But her eyes slide right by
I'm just another face
Just the guy in the tie
Guy in the tie
She pushes beside me into the middle seat
Her leg against mine her feet next to my feet
Her toes poke from her sandals nails painted silver
I close my eyes
and try not to shiver
She smells like clean clothes
and fresh mowed grass
I will her to see me with
every ounce of my mass
but her eyes slide right by
I'm just another face
Just the guy in the tie
Guy in the tie
Every morning I dream of an empty car
The doors would open she'd step into my arms
She'd whisper against my neck
I've been watching you like a spy
but I've been to shy to try my luck
on the guy in the tie
The train stops
she sprints for the door
Please come back,
Please give me more
But her eyes slide right by
I'm just another face,
Just the guy in the tie
Guy in the tie
