The Train
Tommy Cullen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have been having this dream a lot of late
You disappear on a train
I have been running around myself a lot
Bifurcating my brain
What does that mean?
I don’t know
But I’ve been listening to my thoughts a lot
They remind me of yours
In fact it’s hard sometimes to tell them apart
I know that when I open that door
You’ll walk through, Ooh
La da da da da da
Da da da dum
La da da da da da
Dum
You’re on a Train
And it’s a good one baby
I don’t need to pay your fare
You know I care




And I know you’ll be coming home real soon
This much I know
