If I'm on the Late Side

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 always 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
