Train of Love
Neil Young & Crazy Horse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Racing from heart to heart
Running late
Still in the lonely part
This train will never run me down
But only take me where I'm bound
It's part of me and part of you
I'll always be a part of you
Sail along, sail along silver moon
Don't be blue
Throw shadows in my room
I know in time we'll meet again
We come and go that way, my friend
It's part of me and part of you
I'll always be a part of you
"To love and honor 'til death do us part"
Repeat after me
This train is never going back
When the lonesome whistle blows
No one knows, no one knows
Train of love, Train of love
Train of love, Train of love
It's part of me, it's part of you
Train of love
The song "Train of Love" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse is a song that speaks about the journey of love and how it travels from heart to heart. It is about a train that is always moving in one direction – taking those who hop on it to their destinations. As the train is racing from heart to heart, it is also running late and is still in the lonely part. The train itself is not overpowering and will never run someone down but only takes them where they are bound. The journey may have its ups and downs, but it is always a part of those who have been a part of it.
The second verse of the song talks about sailing along with the silver moon, throwing shadows in the singer's room. The moon is a symbol of light in the darkness and, like the train of love, comes and goes in cycles. The lyrics also refer to the fact that those who are part of the journey of love will always meet again. The singer acknowledges that the journey of love is a part of them and a part of those they love.
The bridge of the song is about the commitment of love until death do us part. The train of love is also compared to a lonesome whistle that blows, which no one knows, emphasizing the unknown nature of the journey. The repetition of the Train of Love refrain indicates the enduring nature of the journey.
Overall, the song has a melancholy tone to it but makes one reflect on the beauty of love and the journey it takes.
