Runaway Train

As he sat down upon the train

Silence settled in his brain

He reached out his hand

And touched her hair

He struggled with the

Same old though

Should he tell her

Should he not

He felt her presence everywhere

Whatever comes between us

Don't let it stand in your way

This is what he'v come

Here to say

She just smiled

And read a book

Gave him such a gentle look

He felt a pain right through his chest

He pictured back to qhen they met

Open door on a movie set

Her brown eyes took his breath

And every word she spoke to him

Went like a bullet to his heart

That's what he remembers from the start

Now they're off

Searching in vain

Out of control just like a runaway train

Can't see that it's not up to them

Soon just like a river they'll be rack home again

He sat up through the hours it takes

Passing through the northern lakes

'Til the sleeping giant was in his sight

He knew that she'v been drifting some

Wondered where his faith had gone

He stayed awake most of the night

Whatever makes you happy

I won't stand in your way

Words you hope you never have to say

Now they're off searching in vain

Out of control just like a runaway train

Can't see that it's not up to them

Soon just like a river they'll be rack home again

She watched him toss and try to sleep

Struggle with his demons deep

She thought of all

That they'v been through

Imagining her life alone

No where he was that was home

She wondered if he knew

That every word

He spoke to her

Went like a bullet

To her heart

That's the way it's been right from the start

Now they're off searching in vain

Out of control just like a runaway train

Can't see that it's not up to them

Soon just like a river they'll be

Rack home again off

Searching in vain

Out of control

Just like a runaway train

Can't see that it's not up to them

Soon just like a river they'll be rack home again
