From A Train Lyrics - Seven Dials - Roddy Frame

I knew, when I set eyes upon 

You blinking, thinking in the dawn 

That our star, on the rise 

Would flare and fall, take a dive 

Not something you would wish upon 

I count the days and reconcile and sift the blame 

And wonder if it's all worthwhile, this waiting game 

Ready, shoot .. aim! 

Then a minute mute, for what became 

Of all the hours we felt the same 

What a crime, what a scam, right on time, here I am 

Just as you wake with a start from your dreams 

And everything great comes apart at the seams 

Disallowed and denied 

Curse the clouds, damn the sky 

Just when we thought it would fly 

But some days, it's so beautiful 

You feel joy and cry 

I wish you love out on the road, I hope and pray 

For stars above and friends below to light your way 

Play your part, with all your style 

And all your heart and all your guile 

You couldn't fake it anyway 

Like the trees, by the track 

You see time stretching back 

The sowing and growing and coming alive 

The seasons and reasons, the land as it lies 

But from a train, here's the view 

Love is pain, rushing through 

Just when you thought you'd arrived
