I hope you won't mind if I leave until winter ends
I'll let the spring
Instill a sense

Of pride in me
That I haven't felt in years
Bring the trains back to this town

We've missed their grace for far too long
Wait for this race to circle the city
And carry me back home

I can deal with the staring and strong cold
It's more like the indifference that I can't handle
But for now, I prefer inspiration any day

I can raise my glass toward whatever leads me further away
A single stage can cost more than I am willing to let go of
Carry me on your shoulders
