TRAIN SONG
All the way home we felt we had a chance
To review the cards before we were born
and to invite a new game of chance
Absorbed in the clouds a voice from afar said
With the right device you can make a pattern grow
Or you can tune up your car
So we stayed on the train admiring the time
As the lights of the city drew near
We drank a little wine
They were blurry and green
Outer space in between
With a depth and a form unclear
Then we saw it up ahead
A flickering lantern lit up on the tracks
In the rocks that are covered up the bridge
From the banks of a river
to the bed of a valley upstream
to the place where you live
The glass on the lantern
Cast back the sight of a drive-in movie
We drove by below
We saw where we'd been
and the pictures within
Projecting all the places we would go
So we followed the scene and flowed up your steps
To a smooth wooden floor in a trance
The train whistle melody wove through the trees
And in through a door to signal the turns of a dance
