Trains

 Lyrics

Trains are for the smokers and for those afraid of heights

And those that want the scenery never seen on flights

Trains are for those who can afford to take the long way

I've got more than the weekend, than the weekend

Than the weekend, oh I 

I will take the 

Train

Miami isn't far away

Going south

Watching the sun set on the right

Windows cast the fading light

On where we've been, now where we are

The lonesome whistle in the distant dark

Trains are for the dining car 

Where you cornered me on your side (I was on your side)

I said that you would marry her, and it'd be the end of us

But we had a good ride (a good ride)

I knew everything would change after that

Like changing cars when changing tracks

Gotta hold on (hold on)

Gotta hold on (hold on)

You gotta hold on tightly to the 

Train

Miami isn't far away

Going south

Watching the sun set on the right

Windows cast the fading light

On where we've been, now where we are

The lonesome whistle in the distant dark

*SICCCCK ocarina solo*

Trains are for the forgetful and for those who remember when

They lost something close and personal

Because it was important then

I took my long-sleeved shirt off

Rolled it in the window to sleep on 

I left it (I left it)

Then I left it (I left it behind)

It wasn't the only thing that I left on that

Train

Savannah isn't far away

Going north

Watching the sun set on our left

Screaming the goodbyes we should have said

Returning to where we first embarked

We are the lonesome whistle in the distant dark

Now we are the lonesome whistle in the distant dark

Now we are the lonesome whistle in the distant dark

Now we are the lonesome whistle in the distant dark

A few notes:

This one's pretty personal, but it's about a time I rode a train and realized everything had changed forever. Like a train, the relationship was headed to one destination and there was nothing to be done about it.
