| Here we stand in the mornin' light
|
| Wishing it was still last night
|
| A glow of fire light in our eyes
|
| And never a trace of goodbye
|
| If this train station was our room
|
| Then the sun would be the moon
|
| And all our tears would be the rain
|
| I wish that was thunder, not a train
|
| And while this southbound carries me to Birmingham
|
| I’ll take your memory while the rails take me down
|
| But I’ll leave my heart to you
|
| I know you’ll keep it safe, till my leavin’s through
|
| Keep our promise by your side
|
| And let our true love be your guide
|
| Through the miles that lie between
|
| We’ll close the distance when we dream
|
| And while you’re lyin' in the dark
|
| Waken with a gentle start
|
| You hear your name upon the wind
|
| I’m comin' home to you again
|
| I know you’ll keep it safe, till my leavin’s through |
