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

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 sun's 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
