On My Mind

Story Behind The Song

Lyrics

I'm just standing here waiting for my train to come.
Thinking 'bout all the words I wrote, and all the songs I've sung.
I don't want to leave without you on this southbound train to nowhere because your mine.

All the tracks we've laid, setting stones one by one, but now you've gone away to shine with the sun.
And I can't help but wonder where I'll be without you. I guess I'll always feel alone

I can't bear to look, I can't bear to see. 'Cause now you're off somewhere and you should be with me.
But I'll still dream about you, because there I can be with you. You'll always be on my mind.

Yeah, I'll still dream about you, 'cause there I can be with you. You'll always be on my mind.
