Train of Thought

from Feel Your Way by Benita Johnson

/

about

In memory of Gordon Pavey, who described his difficulties with finishing what he was saying in terms of a train “waiting for the last carriage to catch up with the others”

lyrics

I just feel so tired, my darling.
Seems I'm always running, running for that train.
I've got the strongest feeling it's gonna take me home.
Inner dreams and memories
come a calling to carry me away.
Where the rails meet the horizon, we become one.

So stoke the fires, hit the rails!
There's no end to the tales that I can tell you.
We'll stop at places on the way. Where they are, I couldn't say.
But I'll wait with you, if you'll wait with me.

This train has got a driver.
He can feel its' rhythm in his veins.
But he's got no sense of order. I lose my way.

So stoke the fires, hit the rails!
There's no end to the tales that I can tell you.
We'll see faces on the way. Who they are, I couldn't say.
But I'll stay with you. If you'll stay with me, I won't be afraid.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Hmm.
Woowoo!

When I'm standing at the station
and I just can't find the words I mean to say,
we have to wait for inspiration.
It's always the last damned carriage to come around.

I'll take you on a journey.
I hope you don't get off along the way.
Might take us half my life to get there, but I'm going home!

Stoke the fires, hit the rails!
There's no end to the tales that I can tell you.
We'll see faces on the way. Who they are, I couldn't say.
But I'll stay with you, if you'll stay with me, on my train of thought.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Hmm.
