Took a walk in rotterdam thinking 'bout a train All along the banks of memory Old tired away And at the end of every corner Can almost hear her sound
Time went by in ecstasy Walking next to walls And the colour of the water Was the rails she was on And when the whistles blew far away I felt she knew somehow
For the train often rattles From the rail shaking ground I close my eyes and almost hear her now
Took a walk in rotterdam dodging smoking wheel And if you wander if riders are agile or insane And the rest victim to fashion Lord we're all to blame
Found myself a barstool and something on the rocks I was dreaming i could write a song westward as they dropped And find her at the station Gracefully rolling to a stop
For the train often rattles From the rail shaking ground I close my eyes and see her westward bound
Well i keep that mind a'wandring Love on the rails Slow rolling days Still pushing home Mile over a mile Gone in the blink of an eye
For the train often rattles From the rail shaking ground I Close my eyes and see her westward bound
