Trains

The snow was melting on the island School was letting out again The kids were packing up for college Too old now to play pretend But they would still dream The boy would grow to be a doctor The one with the dark hair and darker eyes The girl would grow to be a teacher Like her mother before she died And they both had dreams Time will fly, it has no patience Days go by, all too complacent Kindred souls that once were strangers She knows he won't try to change her She had alwavs been a writer Tragic blessing, romantic curse Her prose flowed from quiet desire That one day the boy's heart would be hers And she lived in dreams Time will fly, it has no patience Days go by, all too complacent Kindred souls that once were strangers She knows he won't try to change her All her feelings she kept silent Hid her rose-blush when they danced But the boy had misread her mind and Asked for another's hand Still he had always been drawn to her Couldn't seem to let her go He left a fortune at the altar Sent a letter to let her know Time will fly, it has no patience Days go by, all too complacent Kindred souls that once were Strangers She knows he won't try to change her Suns that rise and set regardless Pass them by, all too heartless All make way for kismet lovers Boarding trains to one another Boarding trains to one another
