Southbound Train

Oh, I guess theyll say Ive grown
I know more than I wanted to know
Ive said more than I wanted to say

Im heading home
Yeah, but Im not so sure
That home is a place
You can still get to by train

So Im looking out the window
And Im drifting off to sleep
With my face pressed up against the pane
With the rhythm of my heart
And the ringing in my ears
Its the rhythm of the Southbound Train

Oh, and the wind starts to look like her hair
And the clouds in her bright blue eyes
As the sea and the shore fall and rise
Like her breast as she breathes by my side
And the moon is her lips as the sun
Is headed on down to the sea
Like her head as she lays down on me
Until we reach Oceanside

Over and over
I hear the same refrain
Its the rhythm of my heart
And my sleepy girls breathing
Its the rhythm of my Southbound Train

Oh, I suppose theyll say I shouldve known
Or maybe Im just feeling old
Like a lawyer
With no one to blame

Im headed home
Yeah, but Im not so sure
That home is a place
That will ever be the same

So we gather up our things
And we head out in the cold
And your eyes are where you carry the pain
When I hear the whistle weeping
Its crying to the sky
Its the rhythm of the Southbound Train
Its the rhythm of the Southbound Train
