Train

While travelling on a train going south

I fell asleep and a fly flew into my mouth

You were travelling in the opposite direction

I needed a map for my soul’s resurrection

We both said good bye

To the man in the sky

Both let go of our lover

There’s one thing I know

When you’ve got to go

You’ve got nowhere to run for cover

I was travelling deep in the corners of the country

Right into the pockets of the wild

I found in there a stone so polished like a bone

And I thought of when I was a child

Somethings look different the more you look at them

Somethings don’t ever change

The reasons for our break up

May have been bound in chains

But I can’t keep freeing us again and again

I am breaking loose of the noose

Around my neck, I am felling the tallest tree in the garden

I have to let others grow

Have the chance to get to know other flowers

Other trees

before the love in me hardens

I’ve been walking in these shanty towns

Like some city fool

Lost with my head cast down

A failure in Love’s school

Just some kind of wandering clown

Pulling faces at the pool

Hearing voices put me down

While others draw me up a stool
