Love Like a Train

Lyrics

Love comes rolling down the tracks
you can't stop the feeling any more than you can stop a train
you can hop that line and never once look back
or you can spend hours looking behind on where you've been

and when you hit the switch house and you hear that whistle wail
when the ties are rotting out and there's ice along the rail
you can see how it depends upon so many little things
and love is like a train

I don't know where I thought that I would be
When we finally broke down but I don't recognize a thing
I should have had the sense enough to see
That even if I rode forever it would never be for free

And now I could take my tools in hadn and tear this thing apart
And try to fix what's broken and try to get this piece of junk to start
Or else I could cut my losses and salvage everything I can
and put my feet to work again

Because I was walking when I came across this ride
I imagine I'll be walking when I reach the other side
I guess I won't care how I got there by the time I pass on through
Maybe you'll be there to see me when I do

Notes

Song for Valentines Day 2011. I'll post a recording of this soon as well.
