PAUL SIMON lyrics : "train in a distance"

She was beautiful as Southern skies the night he met her

She was married to someone


He was doggedly determined that he would get her


He was old, he was young




From time to time he'd tip his heart but each time she withdrew




Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance


Everybody thinks it's true


Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Everybody thinks it's true





Well eventually the boy and the girl get married

Sure enough they have a son


And though they both were occupied with the child she carried


Disagreements had begun




And in a while they fell apart it wasn't hard to do




Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance


Everybody thinks it's true


Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance




Two disappointed believers two people playing the game


Negotiations and love songs are often mistaken for one and the same




Now the man and the woman they remain in contact


Let us say it's for the child

With disagreements about the meaning of a marriage contract


Conversations hard and wild




But from time to time he makes her laugh


And she cooks a meal or two




Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance


Everybody thinks it's true


Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance




What is the point of this story what information pertains

The thought that life could be better is woven indelibly


Into our hearts and our brains

Like a train in distance, train train train
