Southbound Train

Oh, I guess they'll say I've grown I know more than I wanted to know I've said more than I wanted to say I'm heading home Yeah, but I'm not so sure That home is a place You can still get to by train So, I'm lookin' out the window and I'm driftin' off to sleep With my face pressed up against the pane With the rhythm of my heart and the ringin' in my ears It's the rhythm of the southbound train Oh, where the wind starts to look like her hair Like clouds in her bright blue eyes As the sea and the shore fall and rise Like her breast as she breathes by my side And the moon is her lips as the sun Is headed on down to the sea Like her head as she lays down on me Until we reach ocean side Over and over, I hear the same refrain It's the rhythm of my heart And my sleepy girl's breathing It's the rhythm of my southbound train Oh, I suppose they'll say I should've known Or maybe I'm just feelin' old Like a lawyer With no one to blame I'm headed home Yeah, but I'm not so sure But home is a place That'll ever be the same So, we gather up our things and we head out in the cold And your eyes are where you carry the pain When I hear the whistle weeping, it's cryin' to the sky It's the rhythm of the southbound train It's the rhythm of the southbound train
