PAUL SIMON - Train In The Distance lyrics

rate me

She was beautiful as southern skies<br>The night he met her<br>She was married to someone<br>He was doggedly determined that he would get her<br>He was old, he was young<br>From time to time he'd tip his heart<br>But each time she withdrew<br>Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance<br>Everybody thinks it's true<br>Well eventually the boy and the girl get married<br>Sure enough they have a son<br>And though they both were occupied<br>With the child she carried<br>Disagreements had begun<br>And in a while they fell apart<br>It wasn't hard to do<br>Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance<br>Everybody thinks it's true<br>Two disappointed believers<br>Two people playing the game<br>Negotiations and love songs<br>Are often mistaken for one and the same<br>Now the man and the woman<br>Remain in contact<br>Let us say it's for the child<br>With disagreements about the meaning<br>Of a marriage contract<br>Conversations hard and wild<br>But from time to time<br>He makes her laugh<br>She cooks a meal or two<br>Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance<br>Everybody thinks it's true<br>Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance<br>Everybody thinks it's true<br>What is the point of this story<br>What information pertains<br>The thought that life could be better<br>Is woven indelibly<br>Into our hearts<br>And our brains
