Endless Train Ride

[Verse 1] Paper cup coffee Cooling by my hand Ticket stub, folded Ink smudged where I stand Your name in the margin Circle ’round the date Fields turn into factories Then right back into lakes [Chorus] Endless train ride, table by the window Same old seat, but the world keeps changing sides Pillars flicker past like a slow flip-book in shadow Landscapes trading faces in the glass as we glide As we glide, as we glide (oh) On this endless train ride [Verse 2] Farmhouse, then a billboard Then a stand of pines Tiny red-roof village Gone in two white lines Fork and plastic wrapper Slide with every sway Silverware keeps dancing To the wheels’ tired ballet [Chorus] Endless train ride, table by the window Same old seat, but the world keeps changing sides Pillars flicker past like a slow flip-book in shadow Landscapes trading faces in the glass as we glide As we glide, as we glide (mm) On this endless train ride [Bridge] Stone arch, steel beam Tunnel breath, long dream Dark, then fields in bloom Like walking through a room One frame at a time Clicking through my mind [Chorus] Endless train ride, table by the window Cradled by the clatter and the soft crossed lines Pillars flicker past, and I lose the days in shadow Let the rolling world redraw itself outside As we glide, as we glide (oh) On this endless train ride
