Train in the Distance Lyrics

INTRO: E
VERSES 1 & 2:
When I was a young boy, roamin' on the railroad tracks
Put copper pennies on the rails, locomotive come and squash 'em flat
We'd run to fetch 'em back, we'd run to fetch 'em back
Summer nights at Gran-ma's house, cozy in my bed
Dreams of far off places, and other lives to be led
Swirling in my head, swirling in my head
CHORUS 1:
And there's a train in the distance, there's a whistle calling
There's a train in the distance, silver moonlight falling
VERSE 3:
Now, I am a grown man, turning in my sleep
Debts and obligations, family ties run deep
Promises to keep, promises to keep
CHORUS 2:
But there's a train in the distance, there's a whistle calling
There's a train in the distance, there's a light rain falling
INSTRUMENTAL: E B E/G# A | E/G# A B E
BRIDGE:
You can ride that train to the far end of creation
Away from everything and everyone you know
You better make friends with your angels and your demons
They will be riding with you wherever you may go, but, you have to go
CHORUS 3:
But there's a train in the distance, there's a whistle calling
There's a train in the distance, autumn leaves are falling
INSTRUMENTAL ENDING: C#m7
