Lyrics to Train

I've just taken a seat on the train

I walked through busy streets down a shadowy lane

I just bought my ticket for the ride

there's no turning back now

no matter what I decide

steel body moves fast, hinges pounding against the

ground

I sink into my seat

I pray for it to speed up, but I wish it would slow

down

my body quivers with anticipation for what lies ahead

wood is thrown onto the fire that cries out to be fed

mist shrouds the dawn, so ahead I cannot see

the train it moves ever forward into the misty sea



there's so many faces

most of the time I feel so alone

there's so many places

will I ever stop and know my own home?



I know I'm gonna get there, but I'm not sure when

nor do I know where I'm going, so I won't pretend

I cannot see beyond the horizon nor around the bend

the train it moves ever forward without a seeming

end...

out of one window, I saw rain

I looked through the other, and I felt the warm sun's

rays

the wind, it gently blew across my weary shoulder

and time whispered in my ear, Child, you're just gonna

keep getting older

but I've done nothing more than take a seat on this

here train

yet my life turned upside down and only

only the little things are right
