If I''m late, darling, don''t hesitate
Just go without me and I''ll see you there anyway
If I miss you at the station
I want you on that train

I don''t want a sad sack
''Cause I''ll be there come what may
Leave a message with the porter
Or leave it at the gate
Just let me know that you''re aboard her
Just a word to know that you''re safe

I walk from Maryland to Silvertown
I hoped to catch you in the street
I must have missed you by a moment dear
I tried the place we alway meet

So if I''m late darling, don''t hesitate
Go on your own some
And I''ll catch you there anyway
I might lose some time babe
But if I do
I''ll make amends in an hour
When I''m laying down beside you
