Grab onto her and keep her Don't you let go Can you tip toe? Can you thread a needle as you roll? Heads or tails, she loves me Not the other side 'Til you realize distance makes me hard to recognize You can lay me down across the track Our souls to keep Let the whistle of the engineer sing us to sleep While I'm staring in your eyes Through the longing and the lies When we both know a train's coming down the line Listen for the chug chug of another love Just around the corner, love Everybody waiting on a better love Now or never A postscript scrawled in a letter On the road alone God's own thunder echoes Nothing is the same now I can hear a train down the line
