Miles from nowhere
bound for nothing,
as I leave behind the loving
of my girlfriend,
twenty-something
who shared words
that were so crushing
she claimed she’s too
young for commitment
and she was growing distant
so I climbed aboard
a southbound train
another lonely,
human shipment.
But I gave her one
more chance to save
the love we both
knew was true
I told her.."Meet me
right before I leave."
and now I fear
our love is through
As heavy raindrops fall...
distorting most of my
train window's views,
as the miles
slip past aborting
what was once love.....
into blues.
The world's a blur,
except for her,
Lord, I did all I could do....
she wasn't waiting
at the station,
so I'm bound for
somewhere new....
Chorus-
Love is like
this old train window,
with its panoramic view,
when it's sunny...
it's breathtaking
but when tears fall
love grows skewed,
like your train of
thought's derailing
into endless solitude....
endless solitude.............
"The conductor
staggers by me
past my orchestrated scene,
as the train wheels
beat percussion
tea cups clank
like tambourines,
with couples swaying
in their shared seats
all around me
whispering low,
sweet nothings
and lilting laughter,
like those times
we used to know. "
Soon enough
dark clouds are parted
as the sun breaks
through the storm,
and the windows of
the train's reveal
some bright
reflections formed.
And in its pained
glass is a vision
that I thought
I'd never see,
she was standing
next to seat 14
in the aisle right
next to me.
She'd beat the train
to its next station
cause she had a
change of heart,
then she fell into
my grateful arms
and gave us both
a brand new start.
"I love you, Baby...
I'm so glad you stayed."
Chorus-
Love is like this
old train window,
with its panoramic view,
when it's sunny...
it's breathtaking
but when tears fall....
love grows skewed,
never leave a
love behind you,
with your future
misconstrued,
lest your train of thoughts
becomes derailed
into loveless solitude.
Don't leave your
train of thoughts
become derailed
into endless solitude.
endless solitude.....
