Oh, oh, my love
Don't you leave me
Cause I don't want to learn how to die
Oh, oh, my love
And oh my my
You know I can't get over
Cause I can't even seem to get by
Oh, oh, my my
And oh my land
(Oh my land)
No, It ain't beneath me
(Ain't beneath me)
Cause I got my head in the sand
Oh, oh, my land
And oh my eyes
(Oh my eyes)
No, they deceive me
(They deceive me)
Seeing but I can't understand
Oh, oh, my eyes
Its like a choo-choo train rolling away
Another choo-choo rain washing away
When were apart
Its like a choo-choo train rolling away
Another choo-choo rain washing away
When were apart
Cause you're apart of my heart
And I'm apart from my heart, my heart
Oh, oh, my God
(Oh my God)
He listens to me
(Listens to me)
And I ain't even talking out loud
Oh, oh, my God
And he says, My son
(Says, My son)
Now, listen to me
(Listen to me)
And listen while the listening's good
You're not my son
But you know my love
(Oh my love)
No it ain't easy
(It ain't easy)
But it ain't the type to give up and die
That's not my love
Its like a choo-choo train rolling away
Another choo-choo rain wash me away
When were apart
It's like a choo-choo train lap me away
Another choo-choo train wash me away
When were apart
Cause you're apart of my heart
And I'm apart from my heart

I think maybe this is about the disillusion of youth and childhood, at least in the verse slaorenz just quoted. I think maybe a member of Dr. Dog was very religious as a boy, and maybe felt that after all this praying and God listening to him, he felt abandonded by God or maybe religion in general.
Another possibility is this is a reference to Jesus on the cross, just before his last breath, crying to God, "why have you forsaken me?"- a moment showing that even the "perfect" son, can have his moment of doubt and feeling of abandonment like all humans. Not sure if this is what they had in mind.
Great song though, awesome live.
