I tried to erase the memories
Of days with you and days with me
Something holds on when the will is gone
And the memories linger on

Be strong and don’t cry
Even if you have a reason
Hold your breath and carry on
There’ll be another season

Fret if you can
Alone and with the lights off
Don’t push your sorrow under the door
It has a key anyway

Change your address
If that will help you sleep
It won’t matter much
Sorrow knows where you live

Try to sleep when it all fades
I know you can’t
The trembling comes
And the fear too in waves

Rest well and contemplate
Insurrection of the will
Another name for fate
Passion does not cross that line

Me? I don’t sleep anyway…

Be careful what you ask for
Someone who cares might offer
To make it so and right
And therefore all the time becomes as night
And the birds land softly near

The train carries all it can
Up the world and down again
It doesn’t slow around the bend
So please step back – be safe my friend
Toss your worry in the bin
Let the train carry your sin
And off it goes and up again
Called by another seekers whim

The sound of the train
Drives away the birds
The day breaks through the night
And all seems right
Toss your worry in the bin
The train has come around again
It doesn’t cause me any refrain
We all need a friend and a train
