Empty Train Stations

Life will leave on with or without you
like a train at the station on a break
waits a little while to see if you're coming
it's on a schedule for the next stop to make

Some folks are left standing, dumb-founded
while the train leaves on too fast
left to walk, they should've gotten on
too late seeing no point staying in the past

Some folks jump on after the train takes off
swinging from the caboose, can't get inside
through a window, out of the wind
doesn't seem to be a very pleasant ride

Some folks get on it before the whistle
they listen for the very first call
they'll not be left behind or left hanging
the Grand Tour continues, they miss nothing at all.

So choose your way of travel carefully
you can ride, walk, or sit and wait
for the next train that might not come
tomorrow, till you see it's too late

the train leaves on with or without you
empty train stations care nothing about you.
