Freight Trains

Anxiously waiting
Time to go home
Train derailing
Specific detailing
You pick up the phone

Freight trains in my mind
I've got a two track mind

Fearfully hating
Thoughts are on loan
Post-dated mailing
A vision of failing
You can't go back home

Freight trains in my mind
I've got a two track mind

Carefully shaving
A number unknown
Weeping and wailing
Buckets I'm bailing
Of years that I've grown

Freight trains in my mind
I've got a two track mind

Consciously braving
Harmonic tone
Staring and saving
Memories sailing
Of when I'll be home
