As The Train Rolls Down The Track, I Say Goodbye
April 12, 2014 By Leave a Comment
“It’s so hard to listen to these trains outside my window, here it comes again. And it’s calling me, begging me, follow me down the track. And it moans so dark and low, baby ain’t comin’ back… It sounds like crying, it sounds like letting go. Breathing and lying, sinking and dying slow. And I watch from my window, touching the cold glass sky. As the train rolls down the track, I say goodbye” – Melissa Etheridge (Royal Station 4/16)

And if you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there” – George Harrison (Any Road)

We got one last chance to make it real” – Bruce Springsteen (Thunder Road)
