Lyrics
Slow Train
I took a slow train through the desert There were sights to be seen
It wasn't...my intention.....Things just turned out that way..
The world goes by at the speed of light...Easy to think life is passing you by..
But isn't
Life found in a....desert rose, isn't life found in the hearts of those who take the time to find it....
I look around....I look at the sky....this isn't so bad....there are sights to be
seen...
It wasn't...my intention...things just turned out that way....
I came upon an impassable sea...no way forward...no way back....
not a chance of survival...not till You stretched out Your hand....
and parted the sea....
I look around....I look at the sky...this isn't so bad...there are sights to be seen...
It wasn't...my intention...things just turned out that way....
