Faraway Train Songtext
von Chris Rosser

It seems life is always moving
And never coming back
Like an invisible train
On an invisible track
A far whistle blows
And station after station goes by

Change rolls in
And I roll out
I′ve gotta feel what these wheels
Of motion are about
Everytime I leave
Some fearful part of me is left behind

Don't let the last call find me
Still and afraid
Left holding out for someday
For some perfect train
Some faraway train


At every stop
I see the same thing
There′s a man at the station
That looks a bit like me
But he's old and lonely
And now his trains only pass by

So every day
He just sits on that bench
Watches the comings and goings
And never moves an inch
Scared and uncertain
While life goes hurrying by

Don't let the last call find me
Still and afraid
Left holding out for someday
For some perfect train
Some faraway train

Now you and I
We met by these tracks
Fell in love on the platform
To the clickety-clack
Those wheels were humming
And everything was running on time


But I was scared of the motion
Scared of some mistake
Looking back towards the station
And reaching for the brake
But love never quit
Just throwing those switches
And as long as we′re moving
Well, I know we′ll keep doing just fine

Don't let the last call find me
Still and afraid
Left holding out for someday
For some perfect train
Some faraway train
