LOVE LIKE A TRAIN

Love Like A Train


Now you see
What I meant
About love
Never lasting.

Standing there
Silent
In the kitchen
Your back to me.

Nothing to say
Now, no more
Than when we
Were still

Strangers before
We’d ever met.

Love goes and
Sometimes stops but
Never stops for
Long – like a train
Traveling in the
Night with
Strangers waiting

To be held by
Other strangers

The sharp whistle
Of it breaking
The silence of
Dreamers in
Their beds.

Well, the thing
Is, you see, I knew
This going in
As surely as
Dillinger when
He entered that
Bank, gun drawn

Knowing there
Were armed guards
With real bullets
With his name on them.

That one mistake
Will take your
Life and all the
Dreams you ever
Had and send

Them crashing
Straight into hell.

God, your
Beauty makes
Me a fool &
Feeling fatal.

But still I ride
The train all night long.
