How Long's the Train Been Gone?

I'm from this town I've climbed these trees I've followed the sun Through their cool green leaves The rustling sound The swaying corn Those are secrets I remember Where I was born How long's the train been gone? I don't remember getting on My life is like the wind It's scattered like all my friends Do you think this train'll be back again? Her feet in the water The sun on her back The wind in the trestle The river running past Did I tell her then? Could she know what it means? To have the darkest eyes The world's ever seen? How long's the train been gone? I don't remember getting on My life is like the wind It's scattered like all my friends Do you think this train'll be back again? How long's the train been gone? I don't remember getting on My life is like the wind It's scattered like all my friends Do you think this train'll be back again?
