From the recording Mirror Flame
Lyrics
The days rip through me like a freight train
As I stand here through the heat and the rain
And as the carriages go by
Sometimes I wonder why
I’m still waiting on the platform
Hands dirty
And my clothes all torn
After every friend
And fellow traveller has gone
Well I saw it in the distance
Saw it moving fast
And I tried so hard to hold on
Hold on as it passed
And I wonder
And I wonder
Am I ever gonna make that train?
Once a road stretched out before me
Thought I had it in me for the journey
Thought I was made of stouter stuff
Thought that I was strong enough
Now I’m standing at the crossways
Between the future and the end of days
And I don’t know which way to go
Well heaven only knows
Well I saw it in the distance
Saw it moving fast
And I tried so hard to hold on
Just to hold on as it passed
And I wonder
And I wonder
Am I ever gonna make that train
