Train Song Lyrics
Traveling north, traveling north to find you
Train wheels beating the wind in my eyes
Don't even know what I'll say when I find you
Call out your name love, don't be surprised
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
it won't be long
it won't be long
it won't be long
Nothing at all in my head to say to you
Only the beat of the train that I'm on
Nothing I've learned all my life on the way to you
One day our love was over and gone
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
it won't be long
it won't be long
it won't be long
Train wheels beating the wind in my eyes
Don't even know what I'll say when I find you
Call out your name love, don't be surprised
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
it won't be long
it won't be long
it won't be long
Only the beat of the train that I'm on
Nothing I've learned all my life on the way to you
One day our love was over and gone
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
it won't be long
it won't be long
it won't be long

"Nothing at all in my head to say to you Only the beat of the train that I'm on Nothing I've learnt all my life on the way to you One day our love was over and gone"
a haunting refrain. a journey of desire and uncertainty. only an ethereal whisper to guide you. deep inside, you feel a sense of dread that it will vanish before you can quite make out just what it is.
It just has that lovely, dreamy quality to the song that I tent to adore, and I fell in love with it the instant I heard it. Simple, acoustic guitar and a few strings to go along with a tale of a love far off, but felt on the cosmic winds, so strong a sense that the song's subject must bum a train to points unknown to find it. Yes, I did first find it because of the Reebok commercial, but it's definitely not the usually American Football commercial, and seemed a very nice choice of song for the ad campaign.
I believe these lyrics are missing a chunk of the song.
Not only is it missing a chunk, it's also got an extra paragraph that isn't in the song.
