On a train ride from some place bad |
|
to some place little better |
|
inbetween my youth and manhood |
|
was a place I met her |
|
she was just a skinny brown eyed girl |
|
with a hunger for tomorrow |
|
and I was then obese by pain |
|
I had all that i could swallow |
|
Oh fair haired travelling girl |
|
keep on travelling on |
|
oh fair haired travelling girl |
|
its just the seat that you have is wrong |
|
Her eyes were packing past regrets |
|
in her lips there was redemption |
|
and she mistook my coat for love |
|
as she wore it for affection |
|
and as she took the seat beside me |
|
I inhaled all of her laughter |
|
and she forgot there is a past |
|
while I forgot there is an after |
|
Oh fair haired travelling girl |
|
keep on travelling on |
|
oh fair haired travelling girl |
|
its just the seat that you have is wrong |
|
On a train ride from some place gone |
|
to some place almost ceratin |
|
inbetween my flesh and bone |
|
was a place i met her |
|
and wrapped up in my coat of shame |
|
she laid there sleeping tightly |
|
and as the train pulled to another stop |
|
well i knew shed go on without me |
