Steely Dan - This Seat's Been Taken lyrics

This Seat's Been Taken

What is the meaning of the morning rain

I got a feeling it's no good

I waited for my baby, but she never made the train

Now I'm hoping at the next stop she will be there

She'll catch my eye and satisfy my every care

[Chorus:]

This seat's been taken

Don't ask me where she's coming from

You're quite mistaken

You know she's gonna' be here

I know she's gonna' come

She must have a reason I will understand

I know she'll turn up by and by

I'll see her standing with a suitcase in her hand

And she'll tell me how she couldn't find a pay phone

She'll start to cry, I'll realize I'm not alone

[Chorus]
