Story Behind the Song
Another "character/story song"...the bridge at the end seems to be everyone's favorite part.
Lyrics
"My family isn't what it used to be," she said,
"and I fear things aren't getting right,
and if I had the chance
to seal the wound and hold it closed
that would mean I'd be missing out on
all I could be."
Take the train down
to the south shore, baby.
Come and see everyone tonight.
"No friends surround me anymore," she said,
"and I can see they're not coming back,
but if you stand by me
to bring a smile and hold me close,
I'd be creating the life
I really want."
Believe in me.
We can take a step into this,
a reflection of everything
I feel.
"My thoughts are running from me," she said,
"but don't you worry about it now,
cuz in a day or two,
this thinking will pass and fly,
and I'll be smiling on a train ride
home to you."
"...And I may cry myself to sleep,
but its a therapy I'm used to,
so don't you fret.
Don't you see?
I'm OK.
'Cause I'll see everyone tonight"
