Rain

歌詞

I woke up early with the sun in my eyes and the dream still clear in my mind I walked out of my life and out of town, with my bags just as it started to rain I sat right down by the railroad track just like it had been in the dream I laid down my load, with nothing to lose and waited for the train Now after a while my friend came by just to see what I was goin through And we talked about the way everybody seemed to be waiting for something new To come along and change the way we are & what we're gonna do And after a while she sat right down there and started waiting too A few days later folk were stopping by and some of them would stay We had tents & fires & music & stuff the biggest party that you ever saw Soon we were getting organized building homes & growing our food/ I thought we'd really found a new way to live, a blueprint for a better way & I got so busy that I almost forgot just what I was waiting for A year has come & gone and you wouldn't believe just how things have changed Everyday there's more people here I never knew so many felt the same But still sometimes I think about the dream & how my life would have been On a rainy day in summertime waiting for the train Now our kids have grown old and I'm getting tired as I look back on what we've done We've schools & shops & doctors & things and a sense of who we are for sure But there's still no sign of change in the world or the things that we're hoping'll come And sometimes I think maybe it's all inside what we're waiting for In the dead of night I sat by the track all alone as the stars unfurled I felt younger as the world grew old and I don't think I'll be coming back Put my ear to the ground and I heard a rumbling sound like thunder from another world Then a blinding light and a screaming steam and the last thing I saw was the train Coming down the track
