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
