Trains

Tie me to the track with my ear to the rail But wait for the very last moment to save me Or we could fight on top like a Western Jump from car to car, not noticing the tunnel is approaching And when we're in the tunnel you become another person And we lay down and let the darkness enfold us [Chorus] Trains, I wish I was on that train I wish I was on that train with you Trains, there's something about a train That always makes me think of you On the Peking to Paris, you're a sculptor, I'm an heiress I'm running from my husband, you're running from the law But there's agents at the border so I hide you in my cabin Of course I let you spend the night not knowing who you are And when I let you out, you become another person And we lay down and let the darkness enfold us [Chorus] Wish I was on that train Wish I was on that train Wish I was on that train with you We're two hobos on the box car, you and your five o'clock shadow Me and my harmonica and a duffel on a stick Or you're a soldier coming back from the war I'm the lover waiting on the platform It's so steamy you're not sure it's me waving And when I close my eyes, I become another person And we lay down and let the darkness enfold us --- Trains - Jill Sobule
