Lyrics
Marianne called just the other day. "Hello, how are you?" "I'm treading water", I said. "It's really quite funny. Seems I've done it for years."
"How's Joe?" I asked. "And little Tom? Did you get what you wanted?" "Anne's left, you know, last December. Seems she's left me for years." I don't know if you feel the same. Sometimes I wish I could've caught that train. Set free the cage around my heart. But oh the rain it falls so hard, Marianne. "Oh I've been working so hard since she's gone away. How about you?" "I want to stop working" she said, "but baby's coming in June and Joe's drinking again." I don't know if you feel the same. Sometimes I wish I could've caught that train. Set free the sunlight in your hair. Roll back those lonely years. I wonder if you feel the same. Sometimes I wish we could've caught that train. Set free the cage around our hearts. But oh the rain it falls so hard, Marianne.
