Run-A-Way Love Train
i was walking down the tracks one night, it was dark -no moon above. i was just trying to
make it home, wasn't thinking of falling in love.
i looked into the distance, i saw a bridge so long and narrow. i thought about not going
there-a different way to sparrow.
my feet kept moving forward, down the tracks that led me home. my ears did not hear it
yet, that distant rumble and moan.
as i entered there onto the bridge too far for me to turn, i felt the ground beneath me
quake, my stomach starts to burn.
i then could hear the whistle, screaming into the night. my mind was filled with painful
thoughts,my heart was filled with fright.
i knew that it was coming, barreling down the tracks. i knew that i had gone too far to
try to make it back
my feet picked up the pace, but running? do i dare? i can't see where i'm going and i know
no body there.
faster and faster my feet went to try to beat this train. no where to jump, no where to
hide, i'm so afraid of the pain.
i turned to look behind me, the light i now could see, i ran faster and faster, with
this thing coming after me
as i lie there between the tracks, on that bridge- on the ground, i opened my eyes to see
your face and your deep set eyes of brown.
and all at once it hit me this train is live so true. i went and fell in love my dear, so
now what do i do?
i'm not sure what will happen next, but this one thing i know. if you are ever really
mine, I'll ever let you go.
i would treat you like the man you are and give you all my heart. i'd make you proud and
happy, never wanting us to part.
I'll leave you with this one last thought...how wonderful could be, a long and lasting
union, just between you and me...
