Train Song

take a ticket for a new train of thought meet me at the station
trade it in for all those
lovely things you've bought
can you resist the temptation

if you asked me
I would take you there
if you showed me the way
you could take me there

take a minute
of your borrowed time
stop and take a break
stop the grind
stop and take a break

if you asked me
I would take you there
if you showed me the way
you could take me there

every generation
sniffs out the inspiration
reaches for truth
as it takes its toll

grab that fading light
hold that sound you heard
dig your heels in and feed that fire feed that fire
