A love song from an innocent narrator. "To be a horse, to be a train, I wouldn't have the heart"--he's pledging to stay. But it's tentative, and one gets the sense from the song that the narrator will ultimately move on, and leave this sweet, youthful love behind. A "Song of Innocence" foreshadowing the anticipated "Songs of Experience" on down the road from this.
