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
