Train
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
Steel body moves fast
Hinges pounding against the ground
I sink into my seat now
I pray for it to speed up, but I wish it would slow down
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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?
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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"
[Chorus 3]
But I've done nothing more
Than take a seat on this here train
Yet my life turned upside down and only
And only, only the little things remain
