I'm sitting on a southbound train
staring at the sky
I'm thinking of my childhood and I'm trying not to cry
While a stranger sleeps against me and it feels like I'm his wife
Old towns and cities flutter past like the pages of my life
My
heart is on the baggage rack,
it's heavy as can be
I wish that I could find someone who would carry it for me
To pay it some attention and to handle it with care
Because it has been dropped and is in need of some repair
Some things I know,
some
things I guess Some things I wish that I could learn to express
I feel
as I stare
at the sky And I remember your voice and the sound of
Maybe it's the autumn chill,
maybe
it's the rain
Maybe I should wake the stranger and ask him his name
In my eyes they would betray me and my
words could not defend
No, I must learn to wait my turn
before I
love again
Some things I know,
some things I guess Some things I wish that I could learn to express
I feel
as I stare at the sky And I remember your voice and the sound of
Goodbye
You're terrific
