New Train |
Full blown silence in an empty room |
A former bride and a former groom |
A folding table and a folding chair |
A folded hand of poker there |
All new directions must go everywhere |
Big round people in a cool little square |
You can’t cut it with a boat or a plane |
Man it’s gonna take a new train |
You’ll be leaving on a new train |
Far away from this world of pain |
And when you look out your window you’ll see |
Your home your baby and your family |
No melted ice cube in a paper cup |
Hell you’ll be happy you’ll be all shook up |
The friends that greet you will be |
Simple and plain |
When you step down from that new train |
Collected volumes of history say |
Man makes mistakes most everyday |
The half a pound of chopped ground round |
Is still a burger when it goes downtown |
No faded photographs of yesterdays |
Are in the books that I read these days |
To fly away from that memory town |
You must keep both your feet on the ground |
Cause you’ll be leaving on a new train |
Far away from this world of pain |
And when you look out your window you’ll see |
Your home your baby and your family |
No melted ice cube in a paper cup |
Hell you’ll be happy you’ll be all shook up |
The friends that greet you will be |
Simple and plain |
When you step down from that new train |
I’ll be leaving on a new train |
Far away from this world of pain |
The friends that greet me will be |
Simple and plain |
When I step down from that new train |
New train, new train. |
