ALISON MOYET - THE TRAIN I RIDE lyrics

I've been keeping you safe inside for the longest time

I've being trying to keep alive the paper kisses you sign

And even now when any body breathes you name

I prepare to feel that pain

Bearing down like a train coming through in a minute

Oh it's war, it's farce, it's cinema

It's one long ride an inch too far

The louder you scream, the faster you go

The more that you learn the less that you know

I brought a ticket and there's no way I can ride but alone

But somewhere it stops and that's letting go

Didn't want to be right tonight, you were out of line

I made a meal of this mess of mine for the very last time

And one day when you stumble, I won't break your fall

It won't hurt any more

But I'll ride on the train coming through in a minute

Going south and on so let it come

The train a ride won't always run

I got a ticket and it's going to take a while, going slow

But it's going to stop and that's letting go

I took my chances and I'm going to have to go with the flow

But somewhere it stops and that's letting go
