Railroad wings

You took a silver train all the way to Maine
On the way to everything
Railroad wings
There´s things you don´t know you know
I thought anger told me what to do
With emptiness chasing me
On the border, I found you
You should´ve heard her sing
Railroad wings
This emptiness has followed me like a cold blue sky
And it has not been easy for you
There´s things I´ll never tell you till the day I die
Things I´ve done I can never undo
Hiding everything
Railroad wings
All these years along, the lights are growing dim
I hear you sing your song in the next room
And as far as I can tell, most everything means nothing
Except some things that mean everything
Railroad wings
On the way to everything
Railroad wings
There´s things you don´t know you know
I thought anger told me what to do
With emptiness chasing me
On the border, I found you
You should´ve heard her sing
Railroad wings
This emptiness has followed me like a cold blue sky
And it has not been easy for you
There´s things I´ll never tell you till the day I die
Things I´ve done I can never undo
Hiding everything
Railroad wings
All these years along, the lights are growing dim
I hear you sing your song in the next room
And as far as I can tell, most everything means nothing
Except some things that mean everything
