Southbound Train

Oh, I guess they'll say I've grownI know more than I wanted to knowI've said more than I wanted to say...I'm heading homeYeah, but I'm not so sureThat home is a placeYou can still get to by trainSo I'm looking out the windowAnd I'm drifting off to sleepWith my face pressed up against the paneWith the rhythm of my heartAnd the ringing in my earsIt's the rhythm of the southbound trainOh, and the wind starts to look like her hairAnd the clouds in her bright blue eyesAs the sea and the shore fall and riseLike her breast as she breathes by my sideAnd the moon is her lips as the sun is headed on down to seaLike her head as she lays down on meUntil we reach ocean sideOver and over, I hear the same refrainIt's the rhythm of my heartAnd my sleepy girl's breathingIt's the rhythm of my southbound trainOh I guess they'll say I should've knownOr maybe I'm just feeling oldLike a lawyerWith no one to blame...I'm headed homeYeah, but I'm not so sureThat home is a placeThat will ever be the sameSo we gather up our thingsAnd we head out in the coldAnd your eyes are where you carry the painWhen I hear the whistle weepingIt's crying in the skyIt's the rhythm of my southbound trainIt's the rhythm of my southbound train
