the clock ticks as the days go by,
the wind pushes through the revolving door.
i watch as the whole world comes alive,
but the train i'm waiting for stops here no more.
we used to chase that classic red you liked,
but it's been a while since I've even heard from you.
you left me in the dust along these iron tracks,
like a sunflower still turning towards you.
i don’t want to know the reasons why,
your love keeps making me walk down the line.
but i don’t want to lose your love tonight,
even if it was never truly mine.
so i take one last look at the past,
and jump into that cold water so blue.
they say good times never last,
and i guess that's so true.
i bought a one-way ticket to a simpler place and time,
as the platform slowly fades away.
boarding that midnight train to Georgia,
to live in a world a little less grey.
