Southbound Train - Nanci Griffith

作词：Julie Gold

作曲：Julie Gold

I'm sitting on a southbound train staring at the sky

I'm thinking of my childhood and I'm trying not to cry

While a stranger sleeps against me and it feels like I'm his wife

The towns and cities flutter past like the pages of my life

My heart is on the baggage rack it's heavy as can be

I wish that I could find someone who would carry it for me

Just to pay it some attention and to handle it with care

Because it has been dropped and is in need of some repair

Some things I know some things I guess

Some things I wish that I could learn to express

Like the way that I feel as I stare at the sky

And I remember your voice and the sound of goodbye

Maybe it's the autumn chill maybe it's the rain

Maybe I should wake the stranger and ask him his name

But my eyes they would betray me and my words could not defend

No I must learn to wait my turn before I love again

Some things I know some things I guess

Some things I wish that I could learn to express

Like the way I feel as I stare at the sky

And I remember your voice and the sound of goodbye
