The train roars from the station
I don't have a clue where I'm going
The Amtrak whistle is blazing
The hardest part is not knowing
The cars sway back and forth
As the blooming trees blur by
I know she was always worth
Every moment I was by her side
I am just a Passenger
On the train called life
I am just a lonely rider
Leaving the dark behind
For each long mile I travel ahead
Just a frontiersman of the modern day
For every ounce of tears I shed
I seemed to get lost on the way
I can tolerate the engine smoke
But I can't erase the smell her perfume
The train has no feelings to evoke
It just snakes its way from gloom
I am just a Passenger
On the train called life
I am just a lonely rider
Heading toward the light
