Lyrics
Riding on a west bound train, it can steal your heart away, can I take you there, you don?t say... the hills of your dreams - they have tunnels in between, can I pass through them, you don?t say...Been so long to me
If I could ever go, I?d find you there, I?d find you along the way.
Falling from paths of grace, I turn pale from a warm embrace
But simple logic says you don?t bear the burden too.
Out here on a open plain, the newborn seedes are blown
The better part of transformation comes with rain...on my face...Been so long to me.
If I should ever go, I?d find you there, I?d find you along the way
If I could ever, ever know, I?d take you there, I?d find you along the way
Been so long to me
Riding on a west bound train, it can steal your heart away
Can I take you there, you don?t say.
