Lyrics
I don't understand it and I don't even try
How she can stand there and just stare at the sky
This town is so simple, Lord, it's too simple for her
In a world of illusion, she never knew who they were
Pictures on the wall remind me of long lost loves
Those that had slipped away and those that were shoved
And the smoke that's rising, rising above town tonight
Seems to block the mountain's eye, but she can see alright
And she calls me late at night just to see if I, if I'm all alone
And I think she's doing all right, 'til I hear a voice I've never known
She says,
"I don't know where these trains go when they leave these tracks
But late at night I just want to catch one and never go back"
Now the miles between us sure don't help the cause
And we'll stand on opposite ends bound by gravitational laws
And she spends her days staring at double-locked doors
And every night she lies awake, just wondering what she's been waiting for
And she calls me late at night just to see if I, if I'm all alone
And I think she's doing all right, 'til I hear a voice I've never known
She says,
"I don't know where these trains go when they leave these tracks
But late at night I just want to catch one and never go back"
And she calls me late at night just to see if I, if I'm all alone
And I think she's doing all right, 'til I hear a voice I've never known
She says,
"I don't know where these trains go when they leave these tracks
But late at night I just want to catch one and never go back"
She says,
"I don't know where these trains go, Lord, but it's gotta be better than this place
And some nights I just want to catch one and see your face"
