verse 1
Last night I took a walk downtown, met a friend of mine
Sitting on a corner drinking wine
Had a look about him, cold and underfed
Looked at me and this is what he said
One day, I'll be out of this place, one step down the line
One day, 'cause it's never too late, things will turn out fine
In a better place and time
One day
verse 2
There's a girl I see sometimes, but in the days gone by
She never had that lost look in her eye
She never had that wedding ring, now she knows the score
If you ask her what she's looking for, she'll tell you
One day, I'll be out of this place, one step down the line
One day, 'cause it's never too late, things will turn out fine
In a better place and time
Instrumental
verse 3
Last night I took a walk downtown, along the empty streets
Saw the places where we used to meet
Walked down to the station, closed some time ago
But sometimes I still hear that whistle blow___
And one day, I'll be out of this place, one step down the line
One day, 'cause it's never too late, things will turn out fine
And one day, I'll be out of this place, one step down the line
One day, 'cause it's never too late, things will turn out fine
In a better place and time
One day
