DAVID ARN lyrics : "Two Trains"

How did courage always keep you on the run
carrying that Red Cross in the Italian sun?
To get the rush danger brings

Youâ??d meet bulls and freaks inside the rings
Itâ??s cut to the bone, jump into the blast
But first, one must last, one must last


There were two trains coming
To where hope meets its second chance

One could easily take you home,
The other was bound for France
You smiled bravely to waiting soldiers

They knew which one youâ??d ride
They were merely lost boys at your side


At Sylvieâ??s table at rue de lâ??Odeon
You read simple praise for comrades gone
Il faut dâ??abord durer

Everyone was a man that day
No matter how your fate gets cast
First, one must last, one must last


Then there were two trains coming
Rolling for the women and the pain

One blew the whistle â??cos the hour got late
Another track was announced for Spain
You drank slowly though the closing sign was broken

Peasants fought to be your guide
Women danced, capturing you with their faces, they left your hands untied


You wrote a chilly ending no one could have known
Doctorâ??s son saves all lives but his own
What did you see so strange

When you stared out at that purple western range?
Grace under pressure unsurpassed
Surely youâ??d stand fast, youâ??d stand fast


Then there were two trains coming
So little time to pack

One could no longer take you home
The other wasnâ??t coming back
They were shocked at what this life could do

With all the battles youâ??d survived
They were merely lost boys at your side
