Southbound Train Lyrics - Limbs And Branches - Jon Foreman

I'm headed home 

Yeah, but I'm not so sure 

That home is a place you 

Can still get to by train 

So I'm looking out the window 

And I'm drifting off to sleep 

With my face pressed up 

Against the pane 

With the rhythm of my heart 

And my sleepy girl's breathing 

With the rhythm 

Of the southbound train 

Oh, well the wind starts 

To look like her hair 

And the sun 

And her bright blue eyes 

As the sea 

And the shore fall and rise 

Like her breast 

As she breathes by my side 

And the moon is her lips 

And the sun is headed 

On down to the sea 

Like her hair 

As she lays down on me 

Until we reach ocean side 

Over and over 

I hear the same train 

With the rhythm of my heart 

And my sleepy girl's breathing 

With the rhythm 

Of my southbound train 

Oh, I suppose 

They'll say I should've known 

Or maybe I'm just feeling old 

Like a lawyer with no one to blame 

I'm headed home 

Yeah, but I'm not so sure 

Home is a place 

That'll ever look the same 

So we gather up our things 

And we head out in the cold 

And your eyes 

Are where you carry the pain 

And I hear the whistle weeping 

It's crying to the skying 

It's the rhythm 

Of the southbound train 

It's the rhythm 

Of my southbound train
