Waiting For A Train
Think about
It's just something that's
Been on my mind
If the mood ain't right
You might say goodnight
Leave me here in this shallow bedroom
You take a little more than I can find
It all comes down to change my mind
And every word you say makes me feel so small
I just don't understand at all
I don't know what you
See inside me
I've been lucky so
I can't complain
If the mood is right
You might stay the night
Lead me into my humble bedroom
You took a little more than I could give
From all the life I've had
1960
How 'bout a tear for the year of 1960
I watched the fins of the Cadillac fall
I remember Dad explained about the Berlin Wall
How 'bout a tear for the torment and the trouble
That was brewing in the Asian way
I wore a smile like the faces that surround L.A.
In the city of the lost and found
It's hard to get a break
Hard to stop from getting turned around
And make the same mistakes
My reputation's on the line
The final day of '59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso
I practiced 61 minutes a day
I could never reach the keys
But it was all OK
How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother
That could brighten up the darkest nights
It's just another sign of love
Whenever we would fight
It's all the same twenty years ago
As it is right now
Like a tour at the closing show
When I take my bow
My reputation's on the line
At the start of '79
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
I've played this part so many times
Since the end of '59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
