I just heard this song again after many years. It definitely seems to resonate more now than it did in my youth. Waterloo is a train station in W1, London (West of central London) and is one of the busiest train stations in the London area. This is a song of loss and rememberance, and it seems some time has passed since "she" went away. Probably an anthem to lost innocence and youth, as much as a a loss of love... as the "we could run forever" is more a statement one would make when young a naive, and the opening lines regarding "work-a- holics" seems to at least posit the singer has some foot in the "all grown up" world. It is a incredibly beautiful song... and for me at least, takes me back some years to the one that got away.
A couple of small errors in the lyrics above. Of course it's blue forget-me-nots... and "I tried to tell it true" (not rue...) otherwise.... it's all good.
