Here and Back

The train blows its horn

while the wheels clunk and churn;

my soul aches and my heart burns.

 

Punk rock girl, why are you crying?

you look as though you're slowly dying.

You're hair is so greased

seems as though your heart's newly on lease.

 

...The night was long

and explanations drawn

but he promised to still be here

when night gave way to dawn.

 

He kept his word,

as i heard the morning birds.

I laid my head upon his chest

both in need of meaningful rest...

 

Punk rock girl, I see a glimmer in your eyes

you seem a little shocked and surprised.

He would never leave you, hit the pavement and cease you.

The love is deeper.

No matter the times you must say good bye,

there will always be a "hi"

 

The train blows its horn

while the wheels clank through

my soul smiles and my heart soothes.
