If I'm on The Late Side Lyrics

(rod stewart, ronnie lane, 1973)

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 alway 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
