Southbound Train

 nanci griffith

 I'm sitting on a southbound train
 Staring at the sky
 I'm thinking of my childhood
 And I'm trying not to cry
 While a stranger sleeps against me
 And it feels like I'm his wife
 Towns and cities flutter past
 Like the pages of my life

 My heart is on the baggage rack
 It's heavy as can be
 I wish that I could find someone
 Who would carry it for me
 Just to pay it some attention
 And to handle it with care
 Because it has been dropped
 And is in need of some repair(chorus) 

 Some things I know 
 Some things I guess 
 Some things I wish that I could learn 
 To express 
 Like the way that I feel 
 As I stare at the sky 
 And I remember your voice 
 And the sound... of goodbye 

 Maybe it's the autumn...Chill
 Maybe it's the rain
 Maybe I should wake the stranger
 And ask him his name
 But, my eyes they would betray me
 And my words could not defend
 No, I must learn to wait my turn
 Before I love again
