Runaway Train
Blue Rodeo

As he sat down upon the train

Silence settled in his brain

Reached out his hand and touched her hair


He struggled with the same old thought

Should he tell her, should he not

He felt her presence everywhere


Whatever comes between us

Don't let it stand in your way

This is what he'd come here just to say


She just smiled and read a book

Gave him such a gentle look

He felt a pain right through his chest


He pictured back to when they met

Open door on a movie set

Her brown eyes took his breath


And every word she spoke to him

Went like a bullet to his heart

That's the way it's been right from the start


Now they're off, searching in vain

Out of control just like a runaway train

Can't see that it's not up to them

Soon just like a river they'll be back home again


He sat up through the hours it takes

Passing through the northern lakes

'Til the sleeping giant was in his sight


He knew that she'd been drifting some

Wondered where his faith had gone


He stayed awake most of the night


Whatever makes you happy

I won't stand in your way

Words you hope you never have to say


Now they're off, searching in vain

Out of control, just like a runaway train

Can't see that it's not up to them

Soon just like a river they'll be back home again


She watched him toss and try to sleep

Struggle with his demons deep

She thought of all that they'd been through


Imagining her life alone

Nowhere he was, that was home

She wondered if he knew


That every word he spoke to her

Went like a bullet to her heart

That's the way it's been right from the start


Now they're off, searching in vain

Out of control just like a runaway train

Can't see that it's not up to them

Soon just like a river they'll be back home again


Now they're off, searching in vain

Out of control just like a runaway train

Can't see that it's not up to them

Soon just like a river they'll be back home again
