Like a southbound train
|
Here's a song for leaving
|
Don't you know the pain
|
It's a part of the healing
|
|
Moon with a halo
|
Like a pearl in a peasant's hand
|
Religion on the radio
|
Advertising a promised land
|
|
Everything that attaches
|
Someday falls apart
|
When the plan collapses
|
It can break your heart
|
|
Like a southbound train
|
This is a song for leaving
|
Don't you know the pain
|
It's a part of the healing
|
Like a southbound train
|
Here is a song for leaving
|
Don't you know the pain
|
It's a part of the healing
|
|
To the airport in the rain
|
Sadness seeping through
|
Leaving faith on a jet plane
|
Hurling through the blue
|
|
Love is the tear
|
That taught me to fall
|
Whispered in my ear
|
Soothing me to my soul
|
|
Like a southbound train
|
Here's a song for leaving
|
Don't you know the pain
|
It's a part of the healing
|
|
Quiet constellations
|
I don't walk through the night
|
Silent salutations
|
Under a southwestern sky
|
|
Battlegrounds behind me
|
Smoke in the trees
|
Memories to remind me
|
Puts my soul to ease
|
|
Like a southbound train
|
Here's a song for leaving
|
Don't you know the pain
|
It's a part of the healing
|
Like a southbound train
|
This is a song for leaving
|
Don't you know the pain
|
It's a part of the healing
|
This is a train
|
Get on the train
|
Get on the train...
