11/27 She Talks To Passing Trains

Normally I attempt to read every lyric, listen to every recording and read all the comments. I apologize that the chores this week have kept me from my passion. I didn't think I would write anything this week but I found myself sleepless. It's a quick write so please bear with me.

She Talks To Passing Trains

She talks to passing trains
As they roll through her town
But no one ever hears
And the trains do not slow down

She sees the trains go by
Always heading far away
She hopes the engineer
Will stop the train and say

(chorus)
Come with me
Come down the tracks
Come with me
And never come back

She lies awake at night
And thinks of the containers
That went by that day
And what they had inside

She counts them in her head
Cars linked like streams of tears.
In loud parade
Percussing through the years

(chorus)

She talks to passing trains
Like her mother did before
Afraid to buy a ticket
Mother never got aboard

She talks to passing trains
But no one ever hears
There will never be an answer
Till she lets go of her fears

(chorus)
