Train in the Distance Lyrics

Paul Simon ?? Train In The Distance
Like so many of Paul Simon's works, the technique of each proves extremely difficult.
I attempted a chorded version of this song after listening to the acoustic demo
available on the Hearts & Bones record.
Hope you enjoy...

Verse One:
She was beautiful as Southern skies, the night he met her,
she was married to someone...
He was doggedly determined that he would get her,
she was old, he was young...
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Everybody thinks it's true?
Verse Two:
Well eventually the boy and the girl get married,
Sure enough they have a son...
And though they both were occupied, with the child she carried,
Disagreements had begun...
And in a while they fell apart, It wasn't hard to do,
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Everybody thinks it's true...
Bridge:
Two disappointed believers, two people playing the game

Negotiations and love songs are often mistaken for one and the same
Verse Three:
Now the man and the woman remain in contact,
let us say it's for the child...
With disagreements about the meaning, of a marriage contract,
Conversations hard and wild...
But from time to time, he makes her laugh, she cooks a meal or two
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Everybody thinks it's true...
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Everybody thinks it's true...
Bridge:
What is the point of this story, what information pertain,
The thought that life could be better,
F C Bb (Open)
Is woven indelibly, into our hearts, and our brains...
