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 now

I pray for it to speed up, but 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

And only, only the little things remain
