Lyrics

[00:19.17] Oh, I guess they'll say I've grown
[00:26.25] I know more than I wanted to know
[00:31.10] I've said more than I wanted to say
[00:35.76]
[00:38.00] I'm heading home
[00:42.48] Yeah, but I'm not so sure
[00:48.13] That home is a place
[00:51.45] You can still get to by train
[00:56.14]
[00:59.59] So I'm looking out the window
[01:02.26] And I'm drifting off to sleep
[01:04.84] With my face pressed up against the pane
[01:10.54] With the rhythm of my heart
[01:12.89] And the ringing in my ears
[01:15.47] It's the rhythm of the Southbound Train
[01:20.25]
[01:30.96] Oh, and the wind starts to look like her hair
[01:36.35] And the clouds in her bright blue eyes
[01:41.32] As the sea and the shore fall and rise
[01:46.23] Like her breast as she breathes by my side
[01:51.91] And the moon is her lips as the sun
[01:57.25] Is headed on down to the sea
[02:02.08] Like her head as she lays down on me
[02:08.00] Until we reach Oceanside
[02:11.62]
[02:11.85] Over and over
[02:15.57] I hear the same refrain
[02:20.71] It's the rhythm of my heart
[02:23.41] And my sleepy girl's breathing
[02:26.02] It's the rhythm of my Southbound Train
[02:30.48]
[02:49.36] Oh, I suppose they'll say I should've known
[02:57.10] Or maybe I'm just feeling old
[03:01.98] Like a lawyer
[03:03.91] With no one to blame
[03:06.45]
[03:08.70] I'm headed home
[03:13.16] Yeah, but I'm not so sure
[03:19.10] That home is a place
[03:22.85] That will ever be the same
[03:27.18]
[03:30.58] So we gather up our things
[03:33.38] And we head out in the cold
[03:35.85] And your eyes are where you carry the pain
[03:41.29] When I hear the whistle weeping
[03:43.85] It's crying to the sky
[03:46.56] It's the rhythm of the Southbound Train
[03:52.03] It's the rhythm of the Southbound Train
[04:03.54]
