[guitar intro]

One last thing I beg you please,

just before you go.
I've watched you fly on paper wings,
half way round the world

until they burned up in the atmosphere,
sent you spiraling down.
landing somewhere far from here

with no one else around
to catch you falling down,
and I'm looking at you now.


And I can't tell if you're laughing.
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye.

There's a train leaving town in an hour.
It's not waiting for you,
and neither am I.


Swing for the fences son,
he must have told you once.

That was a conversation you took nothing from
so raise your glass now,
let's celebrate,

exactly what you've done.
Just put off another day
of knowing where you're from.

You can catch up with yourself,
if you run


And I can't tell if you're laughing.
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye.
There's a train leaving town in an hour.

It's not waiting for you,
and neither am I.


[guitar solo]

Is this the life that you lead,

or the life that's led for you?
Will you take the road,
that's been laid out before you?

Will we cross paths,
somewhere else tonight?
somewhere else tongiht...


And I can't tell if you're laughing.
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye.

There's a train leaving town in an hour.
It's not waiting for you,
and neither am I.


And I can't tell if you're laughing.
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye.

There's a train leaving town in an hour.
It's not waiting for you,
and neither am I.
