Steel Train

It must be hard to be you, it's hard to be me too But I try to see the flowers in her eyes before she blooms It's what I fear, I fear that we're insincere

Well, you wake the love that sleeps inside And dreamed that she had never died Wipe that tear but you don't know why Boy, you're pretty but you're just

I'm takin' new answers to questions of yesterday I've seen you slide away When you cannot hold me, then I saw Colors that ruin you 'way Ttaken what you

Please remember the nights that we spent In the city where you lay, we were young and nearly famous But lightning strikes, buildings fall, and everything

Dig, I dig a girl who's on her own Smiles at the lonely folk 'Cause she's got nothing figured out I laugh 'cause I don't wanna cry no more I laugh because

Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If you don't know by now No, no, no, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It'll never do somehow

It takes a lot to really fake you And leave you bare And I'll never forsake you You can stand on the edge Till you find the pledge you made Once upon

Firecracker, you waved in the night And something that I saw was a-flaming Your body, it was real in the light On the fourth of July we were screaming
