Lonely Train

On the train station we were waiting for you, in the pouring rain

when you finally arrived you were waving – sure – but you jumped right on to your train.

And then I felt a sudden pain, dreams can drive a boy insane

I wanted to be with you,

I wished that you could be my friend I felt I knew you through and through,

and I felt screwed to be looking at a lonely train.

From the inside of your train compartment, faces in the night,

in the midst of all the yelling people a silent boy caught your eye,

and then you felt a sudden pain, wished you could be a child again

and talk to that boy,

tell him you were just the same you used to dream and long for fame,

what did it do, but put you on this lonely train?

You heard the whistle and you felt the drizzle on the windowpane

and every single head reminded you you’d rather be out in the rain

go back home again.

And then you felt a sudden pain dreams can drive a man insane

the boy could be your son,

so much life you can’t undo you felt you knew him through and through.

Can you move?

Can you get off ‘a your lonely train?

Can you get off ‘a your lonely train?
