445


Old train walks me back and forth 

Through the final mile into Manhattan 

As a dying summer sun 

Spilled over the swamps of the Meadowlands


With a sinister grin and a street smart education 

I’m wise enough not to ask what makes that grass grow 

There are answers I’ll look for and others

I won’t 


Hands in chains and babies born without names 

The black and blue are tired true 

And the rest of us are insane


Give you nose a break bite your skin to spite your face

A witty sign and a pic online now who don’t like a little change 


Here I am 

Must have stumbled along the way to end where I’ll start from again 

Without a plan 

I just wandered down the road with my hat in my hand 


Old train rocked me back and forth through the final miles

Into manhattan 

As the empty seat in front of me tattooed with graffiti made me think 


It’s such an odd thing to write your name on a place you’ll leave 

But we all just want to be remembered and ain't it hard hard to make a difference

Does anyone have a pen? 

Go on and forget what i said 


Here I am must have stumbled along the way to end where I’ll start from again 

Without a plan I just wandered down the road with my hat in my hand
