Faces Lyrics
"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, no, no
go on your ownsome and I'll catch you there anyway
I might lose sometime, babe
but if I do, I'll make amends in an hour
when I'm laying down beside you
