I pass a town without a name 

Seen through the window of a train 

A boy and girl stand side by side 

The train arrives, she kisses him goodbye 



She turns away then steps on board 

He thought he'd die but now he's sure 

But as he thinks of one last thing to say 

The train just rolls away 



I pass a station with no sign 

An old man gets on the train just in time 

He used to love this town despite the rain 

But since his wife died it's not been the same 



He curses himself, he was weak 

At his wife's grave he could not speak 

But as he thinks that maybe he should stay 

The train just rolls away 



The driver likes his coffee strong and hot 

The train he drives is everything he's not 

He watches the sad people board the train 

Then laughs as he pulls out and rolls away 



Hits a hundred, no holding back 

Then his dear train comes off the track 

The news report said instant death, no pain 

But who's really to say? 

But who's really to say? 

The train just rolled away 

The train just rolls away
