Feel the rythm of the train
The trail on the platforms
They're choking for my hand instead of a fading silver world
For I always knew that when our love was through
After our lives run and trail like the rail tracks
Not knowing who'd won
Don't you wish it was clear
I've been thinking these thoughts for years now
No not all has been forgotten
Don't you wish you were here
So is this why I couldn't stay
Each word has found its edge on the ground we know
It's finished and withered
The moth leaps in the darkened road
The dog lies curled by the fire
It's cold outside
There she stands in the doorway
Snow on her boots
Red on those lips
Don't you wish it were clear
I've been thinking these thoughts for years now
No not all has been forgotten
Don't you wish you were here
So is this why I couldn't stay
Each word has found its edge on the ground we know
It's finished and withered
There's nothing left I owe
There's nothing left I owe
Behind two empty faces was before us
Self erase we cannot reach
Your frozen vision is of a river rolled out
Out to the sea
How long 'fore that tide's straight line is out on that shore
I've built a little high now
A solid wall yeah never to fall
Yeahhhh
So is this why I couldn't stay
Each word has found its edge on the ground we know
It's finished and withered
