THIS TRAIN
It was on this train
Where I met my wife
You could say
It’s where I started my life
Where she first took my hand
We’d laugh an hour each way
I fell in love with a girl from Queens
On a subway train
CHORUS
On this train your heart is the engine that keeps these wheels rolling along
On this train your soul will guide you through these tunnels when you’re lost and alone
And this train it stops at the stations of redemption, hope, and mercy and love
When we’d ride into the city – Damn, you looked so pretty, as you’d wave goodbye
Born and raised in Queens
Born to limited means
Watching your parents struggle day after day
You learn to limit your dreams
But the limits of this world
They could not limit our love
Together we pushed back, and set out on the track
To find the dreams we had lost
CHORUS
Time goes by – People get on this train
Some people get off – No one rides to the end
There will come a day, when we all run out of time
Know that my love will never end, even when we kiss goodbye (repeat)
Take that to the end – Take that to the end of the line
