|
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 and I pray for it to speed up |
|
While 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 |
|
But 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 suns 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 remain |
