The Train
Sat on the train
Watching the rain
Stare through the glass
Watch the world pass
From platform one
People step on
The 12:42
Sky's turning blue
Woman in front
feel the train shunt
looks over her book
With a vacant eyed look
Kid to the side
Dreaming he's died
Man at the back
wearing a mac
brown paper bag
Round his bottle of Jack
All sat together
Watching the weather
Travel the tracks
Hours will pass
Train rolling on
Time slowing down
Lifetime that's gone
Not to return
Or be lived again
Travelling on
Travelling on
Travelling on ...
