[Intro] (Mind the gap... mind the gap...) [Verse 1] I found his father in a folder, A photograph, a date, a name. I thought the truth would make him lighter, I didn't think it works the same. [Pre-Chorus] A busker in a tiled passage, Russian songs for English coins. [Chorus] Mind the gap, mind the gap, Between the truth and what it's for. Mind the gap, mind the gap, I opened up a closing door. [Verse 2] Hale sat by the river smiling, He never counted who he lost. He never knew there was a boy, He never stopped to count the cost. [Pre-Chorus] The last train humming in the tunnel, Two men waiting by the edge. [Chorus] Mind the gap, mind the gap, Between the truth and what it's for. Mind the gap, mind the gap, I opened up a closing door. [Bridge] The lights went out for half a second, The doors slid shut, the train moved on. An umbrella on the platform, And nobody saw anyone. [Final Chorus] Mind the gap, mind the gap, Between the truth and what it cost. Mind the gap, mind the gap, One line of chalk for all he lost. [Outro] (Mind the gap... going home...) [End]
