Railroad Wings Songtext
von Patty Griffin

You took a silver train
All the way to Maine
On the way to everything
Railroad wings

There′s things you don't know you know
I thought anger told me what to do
With emptiness chasing me
On the border, I found you
You should′ve heard her sing
Railroad wings


This emptiness has followed me like a cold blue sky
And it has not been easy for you
There's things I'll never tell you ′til the day I die
Things I′ve done I can never undo
Hiding everything
Railroad wings

All these years along, the lights are growing dim
I hear you sing your song in the next room
And as far as I can tell, 'most everything means nothing
Except some things that mean everything
Railroad wings

Railroad wings (railroad wings)
Railroad wings (railroad wings)
Railroad wings (railroad wings)
Railroad wings (railroad wings)
Railroad wings (railroad wings)
