Description
Have you ever watched your dreams disappear and felt helpless to keep it from happening? You wanted to fight but all you could do was scream? Perhaps it was a problem with drugs or alcohol. Maybe it was a financial hardship. Heartbreak. This song is the story of my inner-dialogue during a particular set of hard times, a common tale of humanity.
Lyrics
I think this train is passing me by I listen to the smokestack fade away I wonder if the future's gonna bring it around again but knowing it's a one way ride I think this train is passing me by The liquid of age drowned out the steam of youth The tracks replaced by the motorway A regular road is settled for "Help me get back on track!" my inner voice is shouting "The waste I've made of my life is something I'll get out of" Don't let this train pass me by Don't let this train pass me I think this train is passing me by I watch it recede as I stand to the side It chugs away fast in a steady line I stand here numb as it leaves me behind I think this train is passing me by Sweet engine song was like a lullaby Taking me to all of the places I'd dreamt of I think this train is passing me by I don't remember how it got away It was so delicious holding my ticket "Help me get back on track!" my inner voice is shouting "The waste I've made of my life is something I'll get out of" Don't let this train pass me by Don't let this train pass me
