This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
He's waiting at the station
He's not taking any train
He's a kid from Colorado
Counting the raindrops in the drain
He's sleeping in the tunnel
He's not edging for the
He's a lonesome river swimmer
Wondering where the river went
Who's gunna carry him down
Who's gunna carry him down
One more turn around and he'll be homeward bound
Who's gunna carry him carry him down
There's a landlord on the benches there's a posse on the train
There's an angel up in heaven
Who forgot somebodies name
who's gunna carry him down
Who's gunna carry him down
One more turn around and he'll be homeward bound
Who's gunna carry him carry him down
[Repeat until end]

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
is this a cover??
No, it's not a cover. It's from his new album, "Changing Horses."
The song, I think, is about a teen runaway. He's from Colorado and now he's sleeping in some train station, somewhere. It's such a sad, beautiful song.
I realize its on his new album I just didn't know if he was covering someone elses song. I saw the Felice Brothers last month and the guy who opened sang this song which is why I questioned it.
I think the runaway has died and his body is to be reunited with his family in colorado, hence homweard bound. I think the phrase "carry him down" refers to pall bearers. It's a really beautiful song.
The song is actually called Waiter At The Station. It was written by Jemima James, and is best known for being sung by her son, Willy Mason, who supported Kweller at some gigs a few years ago.<br /> <br /> Apparently it was inspired by a body found at a railway station. The Colorado reference may be significant, as Mrs James lives on Martha's Vineyard, and it is common for itinerant tourism workers to summer on the island, and winter in the ski resorts of Colorado.
