Tuesday Song: “Towards the Dream”


—–
Listen to the train’s whistle
Listen as it passes through the town
Just the sound
All the trails of rails before it
Laid out like a rollercoaster
Flat on the ground

Can you see this is me?
I am running at full steam
I don’t know where to go
I am floating out towards the dream

All the stars are in the sky
So why oh why is no one else out here
In the clear?
Semiprecious tracts of land
Are sinking in the sand – will I succumb
To this fear?

Can you see this is me?
I am running at full steam
I don’t know where to go
I am floating out towards the dream

Alone in the dark
I am far from the sun
I will lie in the cold
And remember no one
Until now
I’m done

Something shining bright and cold
Is threading its way back towards the sky
You and I
All the clocks strike one as one
And when they’re done, so quiet and so still
They lie

Can you see this is me?
I am running at full steam
I don’t know where to go
I am floating out towards the dream
