Story Behind The Song
The song came to me one night while I was reminiscing about old days, and yet not missing them at all. In fact, while I enjoyed the old times, I realized I was a completely different man now and happier because of it.
Song Description
A steady, tactile and roomy drum beat supports lush acoustic mandolin and guitar while a gentle and warm electric guitar gently colors a confessional tale of growing into a new life while letting go of the outmoded. A warm and reserved male voice caresses this song to life.

Lyrics
Trading up, trading everything. Won't mind losing one single thing. Want my ocean, want my garden dream. Closer now, than they ever seemed. Train long and winding...winding in.
Hanging back, like I was taught. Man, that motown sure helped a lot. Wandering eyes from all but one. And in those eyes I saw the rising sun. Train long and winding...winding in. Lay me down in tall grass. Taste it all before we pass. Hold me close one more time.
Warm waters, middle of the night. Ocean waves in soft glowing light. Southern breeze make me sway. Grace above carry us away. Train long and winding...winding in.
