Train Songtext
von Sonya Kitchell

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
And I pray for it to speed up while 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, only the little things remain
