As he sat down upon the train

Silence settled in his brain

He reached out his hand

And touched her hair

He struggled with the

Same old though

Should he tell her

Should he not

He felt her presence

Everywhere



Whatever comes between us

Don't let it stand in your way

This is what he'd come

Here to say



She just smiled

And read a book

Gave him such a 

Gentle look

He felt a pain right

Through his chest

He pictured back to

When they met

Open door on a movie set

Her brown eyes took

His breath



And every word she

Spoke to him

Went like a bullet to his

Heart

That's what he remembers

From the start



Now they're off

Searching in vain

Out of control

Just like a runaway train

Can't see that it's

Not up to them

Soon just like a river

They'll be rack home again



He sat up through

The hours it takes

Passing through the

Northern lakes

Til the sleeping giant was in his sight

He knew that she'd been drifting some

Wondered where his

Faith had gone

He stayed awake most 

Of the night

Whatever makes you happy

I won't stand in your way

Words you hope you never

Have to say



Now they're off

Searching in vain

Out of control

Just like a runaway train

Can't see that it's

Not up to them

Soon just like a river

They'll be rack home again



She watched him toss

And try to sleep

Struggle with his

Demons deep

She thought of all

That they'd been through

Imagining her life alone

No where he was

That was home

She wondered if he knew



That every word

He spoke to her

Went like a bullet

To her heart

That's the way it's

Been right from 

The start



Now they're off

Searching in vain

Out of control

Just like a runaway train

Can't see that it's

Not up to them

Soon just like a river

They'll be rack home again
