Northbound Runnin'

When I saw you down at the station

Far away by candlelight, Get back before the midnight train runs away

No coins for the taking

Maybe you’ll find me there, earn enough to pay my fare and the train’ll roll along

So few places left and too many faces

Got a ticket for the northbound

Been while since I’ve been around, but when I come home,

You as me to step inside. “Inside of what?” said I, “Here inside this dream of mine” Well you know I try

Once inside you said, “See this! What does it mean to you?” Parts were from a dream of mine

But most of them were all brand new

Dreaming of you

So I follow you down to that river

Try to make you understand, a little love and a helping hand is all that you need

So you can find out, what it is you’ve missed out, could be this time that this aint’ no dream at all

Streamline markers of yellow fly by as sure as the tradewinds blow

You and I, we made our home on that train we’ve rode so many times before you know

I can’t go alone
