Well, I've been walking along the tracks
Heading nowhere and getting there fast
The trains have come and they've all gone
And I'm left waiting till my number comes

Why'd you have to go and jump the turnstile?
We could've walked this road together in due time
Why'd you get yourself in such a hurry, my brother?
You know I'll meet you at the end of the line
You know I'll meet you at the end of the line

The days are long now, longer than they ever been before
I know how now, so I don't ask why no more
The sunshine's gone and so is the moon
All I see is darkness till I find you

Why'd you have to go and jump the turnstile?
We could've walked this road together in due time
Why'd you get yourself in such a hurry, my brother?
You know I'll meet you at the end of the line
You know I'll meet you at the end of the line

And I don't know what you are going through
And if I could, I'd put myself in your worn out boots
And take that pain from you
Oh, you know I'd take that pain from you

Why'd you have to go and jump the turnstile?
We could've walked this road together in due time
Why'd you get yourself in such a hurry, my brother?
You know I'll meet you at the end of the line
You know I'll meet you at the end of the line
