about

A song about having someone you care about be far away and questioning whether you are in the right place doing the right thing

lyrics

i live in a city where they block out the sun
where the blue skies fade into gray
i sit there and watch as the rail cars go by
wishing one would take me away

for my love has gone to a far away land
a place where there's ice and there's snow
the coal cars roll north on those two narrow rails
one day i'll just pack up and go

well it doesn't take much just to leave what you know
just a leap that's lacking in fear
the train leaves the station from this city of sin
but for now something's keeping me here

so let's meet past the limit of the skyscraper's shadow
where the wind still blows through the pines
where the light of the stars is our pathway to walk
and maybe there you could be mine
