Downtown Train
Downtown Station at the end of the day
Handful of people wait for the train to pull away
An all the dreams they dreamt, as they lay sleeping just before
wake and find them lost on a very distant shore
And all the dreams they're dreaming, as so patiently they wait
No one thinks to question why the train is always late
Slowly sliding doors, then our man takes his place
Pullin out a paper, as he tries to hide his face
Headlines make no headway, and his interest they don't find
Something's wrong this morning and it's playing on his mind
Soft sweet singing
Finds a man who wears no shoes
Looking for all the world, like he's lost all he could lose
Laughing now then crying, screaming out a name
A carriage filled with fear, ever onward just the same
And suddenly serenity, as each they turn to see
A woman lost in passion singing just have faith in me
She touches so the beast departs, the man aware remains
You have set me free he says, thank you for... thank you for... thank you for these chains
