As he sat down upon the train 
Silence settled in his brain 
He reached out his hand 
And touched her hair 
He struggled with the 
Same old though 
Should he tell her 
Should he not 
He felt her presence 
Everywhere 

Whatever comes between us 
Don't let it stand in your way 
This is what he'd come 
Here to say 

She just smiled 
And read a book 
Gave him such a 
Gentle look 
He felt a pain right 
Through his chest 
He pictured back to 
When they met 
Open door on a movie set 
Her brown eyes took 
His breath 

And every word she 
Spoke to him 
Went like a bullet to his 
Heart 
That's what he remembers 
From the start 

Now they're off 
Searching in vain 
Out of control 
Just like a runaway train 
Can't see that it's 
Not up to them 
Soon just like a river 
They'll be rack home again 

He sat up through 
The hours it takes 
Passing through the 
Northern lakes 
Til the sleeping giant was in his sight 
He knew that she'd been drifting some 
Wondered where his 
Faith had gone 
He stayed awake most 
Of the night 
Whatever makes you happy 
I won't stand in your way 
Words you hope you never 
Have to say 

Now they're off 
Searching in vain 
Out of control 
Just like a runaway train 
Can't see that it's 
Not up to them 
Soon just like a river 
They'll be rack home again 

She watched him toss 
And try to sleep 
Struggle with his 
Demons deep 
She thought of all 
That they'd been through 
Imagining her life alone 
No where he was 
That was home 
She wondered if he knew 

That every word 
He spoke to her 
Went like a bullet 
To her heart 
That's the way it's 
Been right from 
The start 

Now they're off 
Searching in vain 
Out of control 
Just like a runaway train 
Can't see that it's 
Not up to them 
Soon just like a river 
They'll be rack home again
