Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Took a walk in Rotterdam, thinking 'bout her train
All along the banks of memory, holding tide away
And on the end of every corner, could almost hear her sound
[Verse 2]
Time went by in ecstasy, walking next to walls
And the color of the water, was the rails that she was on
And when the whistles blew far away, I felt she knew somehow
[Verse 3]
For the train often rattles
From the rails shakin' ground
I close my eyes and almost hear her now
[Verse 4]
Took a walk in Rotterdam, dodging spoke and wheel
And a few unnerving riders, agile or insane
And the rest, victims of fashion, Lord, we're all to blame
[Verse 5]
Found myself a bar stool and something on the rocks
I was dreaming I could ride the sun westward as it dropped
And find her at the station, gracefully rolling to a stop
[Verse 6]
For the train often rattles
From the rails shakin' ground
I close my eyes and see her westward bound
[Verse 7]
Well, I'll keep that mind a wondering of love on the rails
Slow rolling days, steel pushing home
Mile over miles, gone in the blink of an eye
[Verse 8]
For the train often rattles
From the rails shakin' ground
I close my eyes and see her westward bound
