Asleep on a Train-Cars & Trains

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Tom Filepp [00:00.50] [00:36.71]In twos and threes the stinging rain falls on this car [00:40.78]Counting time with the lights blinking like a dying star [00:44.75]I'll turn it out soon so I focus on where I go [00:48.60]Pretending to be asleep on a train is hard to forego [00:52.56]But tree branches wave and telephone poles compare notes [00:56.49]What passes by the window disappears at our next thought [01:00.79]The abandoned buildings they don't realize they are all alone [01:04.44]Reaching out to keep the pieces of what they've all become [01:08.50]With the heat of the sun forcing moss and ivy to grow [01:12.52]Across the faces, rushing backwards, giving all they owe [01:16.48]To circumnavigate their frames and join hands with cracks on walls [01:20.74]And make us honest about from where we came and head towards [01:24.70]The sun it flickers and fades setting to the left of my arm [01:28.51]The lovely half lit silhouetted hills now hard to discern [01:32.46]As if they've all given up like old cars in junkyards [01:36.48]And all the air that the train displaced won't come to harm [01:40.45]Simply acting as a means to spread some forgotten seeds [01:44.39]That long ago would find their way home by some other means [01:48.99] [01:50.35]And the air that I displace won't even remember my name [01:58.16]Or any other details of the lines of my face [02:05.17] [02:05.77]And the air that I displace won't even remember my name [02:13.98]Or any other details of the lines of my face [02:20.90]Passing by a line of crows on power lines that wait for [02:24.46]A something that we all don't attempt to express anymore [02:28.47]Feeling the pull to find a way to what we would call home [02:32.48]Giving thought to, things I felt as I wait on the platform [02:36.59]Evading the subjects that are constantly on my mind [02:40.54]While circling above them like clouds at the same time [02:44.51]The wheels sometimes falter and scrape on the tracks as I drift [02:48.31]To all the things that settle to bottom that I try to keep hid [02:52.44]Like the dirt that settles in the river once we've all passed [02:56.38]That no one will mention unless they've been on the same path [03:00.44]Trying not to let the weight of those thoughts drag you down [03:04.46]Like a tree letting it's leaves go after holding too long [03:08.28]The heavy weight of the last few turns that the engine takes [03:12.33]Through the windows the faint smell of diesel fumes that pervade [03:16.47]Signal that we've made our way close to the station at hand [03:20.21]And all the indecipherable things I've tried to comprehend [03:24.27]Sometimes it's easier to pretend to sleep on a train [03:28.24]Rather than pay attention to what your thoughts might contain [03:32.54]And the air that I displace won't even remember my name [03:36.84]Or any other details of the lines of my face [03:40.75]And the air that I displace won't even remember my name [03:44.56]Or any other details of the lines of my face [03:48.79]And the air that I displace won't even remember my name [03:52.74]Or any other details of the lines of my face [03:57.72] [03:58.49]The abandoned buildings they don't realize they are all alone [04:02.50]Reaching out to keep the pieces of what they've all become [04:06.52]With the heat of the sun forcing moss and ivy to grow [04:10.43]Across the faces, rushing backwards, giving all they owe [04:14.42]To circumnavigate their frames and join hands with cracks on walls [04:18.47]And make us honest about from where we came and head towards [04:22.61]The sun it flickers and fades setting to the left of my arm [04:26.36]The lovely half lit silhouetted hills now hard to discern [04:30.41]As if they've all given up like old cars in junkyards [04:34.67]And all the air that the train displaced won't come to harm [04:38.39]Simply acting as a means to spread some forgotten seeds [04:42.29]That long ago would find their way home by some other means [04:46.51]The abandoned buildings they don't realize they are all alone [04:50.46]Reaching out to keep the pieces of what they've all become [04:54.46]With the heat of the sun forcing moss and ivy to grow [04:58.41]Across the faces, rushing backwards, giving all they owe [05:02.46]To circumnavigate their frames and join hands with cracks on walls [05:06.64]And make us honest about from where we came and head towards [05:11.68]
