Trains

One more look in the rear-view. Pull in and shift into park. Trembling hands take the keys, and alone I step out of the car.
My thoughts blow away in the slightest breeze. The sound of your voice brings me down to my knees. If my heart is locked up, then who holds the keys? It’s you.
Now pretend I’m not hearing storm clouds that call me by name, raising questions of frailty. And now it’s starting to rain! Accusations like downpour drenching my body, my mind. Seeing all that I wanted patiently wait where I left it behind!
The thunder is rolling; the sky’s turning black. And you linger here like a ghost on the tracks. And I told myself I’d never come back to you…
Take me away from here! Take me wherever you want! Cause I know now my everything’s right where you are. I can’t breathe when I see you; I can’t speak when I see your face! So tell me now nothing can take me away from you.
