|
Full blown silence in an empty room |
|
A former bride and a former groom |
|
A folding table and a folding chair |
|
A folded hand of poker there |
|
All new directions must go everywhere |
|
Big round people in a cool little square |
|
You can't cut it with a boat or a plane |
|
Man it's gonna take a new train |
|
You'll be leaving on a new train |
|
Far away from this world of pain |
|
And when you look out your window you'll see |
|
Your home your baby and your family |
|
No melted ice cube in a paper cup |
|
Hell, you'll be happy you'll be all shook up |
|
The friends that greet you will be simple and plain |
|
When you step down from that new train |
|
Collected volumes of history say |
|
Man makes mistakes most everyday |
|
The half a pound of chopped ground round |
|
Is still a burger when it goes downtown |
|
No faded photographs of yesterdays |
|
Are in the books that I read these days |
|
To fly away from that memory town |
|
You must keep both your feet on the ground |
|
'Cause you'll be leaving on a new train |
|
Far away from this world of pain |
|
And when you look out your window you'll see |
|
Your home your baby and your family |
|
No melted ice cube in a paper cup |
|
Hell, you'll be happy you'll be all shook up |
|
The friends that greet you will be simple and plain |
|
When you step down from that new train |
|
I'll be leaving on a new train |
|
Far away from this world of pain |
|
The friends that greet me will be simple and plain |
|
When I step down from that new train |
|
New train, new train |
