10:03 on a fast train
a trick of light
crossing my eye
a skyward plane
calling out your name
calling out your name
like the last of those fires
we shall burn into the night
like a moth to the flame
i will turn back again
oh i'm coming home
calling out your name
all i've ever known
distant call down the wire
distant train on the line
i'll return to your side
with the push and pull of the tide
all i've ever known
calling out your name
oh i'm coming home

with the push and pull of the tide

Not a lyrical observation, but do you notice how the beat of the song almost resembles a train setting off and then arriving at its destination? Slow at the start, starts speeding up til it reaches a top speed, then slows down again to a halt. The drum part that comes in at 1:46 even sounds like the wheels of an old fashioned train!
Genius. GENIUS! I listen to this again and again and AGAIN. Like a moth to the flame I will turn back again. Mindblowing stuff. Oh why do I have to wait 4 years!!!
Fucking awesome song. Ripe for some movie (that unfortunately would probably suck) where the guy is running back to his chick because he fucked up and he realized he was wrong. I know if that happens to me, I want this blasting in the background. Then when the instrumental part kicks in, that'll be me dodging traffic and stiffarming homeless guys and girl scount cookie pushers while running to my scorned lover because I made fun of how she queefed the night before. Aaaaah, such is love.
@tbarkerisafag ".....how she queefed..."?

Frightening that this has been out more than 9 years. Where does the time go?

Does this song reference 3:10 to Yuma by any chance? The movie was about catching the 3:10 to Yuma anyway I think it is .Great song, big fan of Doves.
Probably a coincidence, but the United 93 flight which came down in Pennsylvania on Sep 11, 2001, impacted into the ground at 10:03.
