Pearls

Maybe it means something

That all I think about are trains

Or could it be that I just need one thing

To mark the change of night and day

Or maybe my mind is bored

With no passage I can enjoy

These pearls might be strung too tight

All dressed up ready for the ride

I wait under station lights

The train never comes

Maybe I miss the snap and the scream

Of the ocean washing over me

I'm not a part of any one thing

And all of this combined has made me

Early morning rain smell's well worn

Ice of winter has come and gone

These pearls might be strung too tight

All dressed and ready for the ride

I wait under station lights

The train never comes

Between days between nights

All dressed up and ready for the fight

I'm standing there under station lights

The train never comes

Why should I get all decked out

For the world's biggest let down

Why should I get all decked out

When the train never comes
