Silver Jews - Trains Across the Sea lyrics

rate me

Troubles, no troubles, on the line, & I can't stand

to see you, I can't stand to see you when you're

crying at home. Scotch & penicillin, please try

Carlton, a cold black maple hanger & husbands

on the run I just got back from a dream

attack that took me by surprise & in there

I met a lady, her name was Shady Sides & she

said, "It's been evening all day long, evening

all day long & how can something so old be so

wrong". Sin and gravity drag me down to sleep

to dream of trains across the sea, trains across

the sea. Half hours on earth, what are

they worth, I don't know. In 27 years

I've drunk fifty thousand beers & they just

wash against me like the sea into a pier....
