The Day We Caught the Train

I never saw it as the start it's more a change of heart Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pots Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot I laid my plans in solid rock Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling it's a holiday You and I should ride the coast And wind up in our favorite coats just miles away Roll a number, write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke Walking like groucho sucking on a number ten Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in I miss the crush and I'm home again Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away Steeping to the sky and the star-bright feeling it's a brighter day You and I should ride the coast And wind up in our favorite coats just miles away Roll a number, write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train You and I should ride the tracks And find ourselves just wading through tomorrow And you and I when we're coming down We're only getting back you know I feel the sorrow When you find that things are getting wild Don't you want days like these? When you find that things are getting wild Don't you need days like these? When you find that things are getting wild Don't you want days like, like these?
