Train Down the Line

Grab onto her and keep her
Don’t you let go
Can you tip toe? Can you thread a needle as you roll?
Heads or tails, she loves me
Not the other side
‘Til you realize distance makes me hard to recognize
You can lay me down across the track
Our souls to keep
Let the whistle of the engineer sing us to sleep
While I’m staring in your eyes
Through the longing and the lies
When we both know a train’s coming down the line
Listen for the chug chug of another love
Just around the corner, love
Everybody waiting on a better love
It’s now or never
A postscript scrawled in a letter
On the road alone God’s own thunder echoes
Nothing is the same now
I can hear a train down the line
You can lay me down across the track
Our souls to keep
Let the whistle of the engineer sing us to sleep
While I’m staring in your eyes
Through the longing and the lies
When we both know a train’s coming down the line
