getting on this train but I don’t
know where I’m going
don’t know where these tracks might lead
but still I just ride along

oh, freight train
are you ever gonna stop?
oh, freight train
this heart’s had enough
it’s been years since I’ve left
but the station still seems far away

I’ve been running out of coal to put
in the furnace that's burning
but I’ve gone too far down the road
and so I just ride along

oh, freight train
are you ever gonna stop?
oh, freight train
this heart’s had enough
it’s been years since I’ve left
but the station still seems far away

but if i’m speaking honestly
I’d be lying if I said
“I never enjoyed this”
“I’d never go back”
and since I’m speaking honestly
I think I’d even probably
buy another ticket but maybe
change my destination

oh freight train
we’ve finally reached our stop
oh, freight train
the ride has sure been rough
it’s been years since we’ve left but
this is where we go home

while i'm working on EP2 here's a new song! this was the fastest i've ever finished a song. maybe i'll share the story one day :)
----------------------
i may know your story but i don't know your name
i wonder if it's all the same with you

though our time may have been a little bit too quick
know that it was enough for me to fall for you

i hear the whistles call
i'm not ready at all

but if the train broke down tonight
if i miss the plane's last flight
if the train broke down tonight
i wouldn't mind finding my home with you

i'll tell you my story, give you my name
no longer strangers now that i'm learning you 

so tell me your dreams, show me your fears
we'll make the most of the coming years

i  hear the whistles call
i'm not ready at all

but if the train broke down tonight
if i miss the plane's last flight
if the train broke down tonight
i wouldn't mind finding my home in you

could you wait till i get home tonight
and hope we have connecting flights
could you wait till i get home tonight
maybe one day i'll come home to you

Perfect Stranger

here was a time when i sailed the seas
didn’t need a map
you were the back of my hand
the stars were my guide
and the moon gave me sight
when the sun saw your smile
i knew i found land

but storms weren’t kind to me
winds they make me bleed

when I look in your eyes I just want to see
the one that I long for the one from my dreams
Lord knows the times I’ve fallen asleep
hoping to wake up with you next to me
will you be my reason my testimony
would I find my home in this land?
if I took your hand

but once I set shore on the rocks and the sand
I couldn’t believe these eyes that deceived
the sun, it rose west and set in east
the roads had new names
nothing was the same

this place isn’t what it seems
this haven so foreign to me

that look in your eyes makes me believe
the one that I long for the one that I see
is somewhere inside I just need to find
are you in there or just in my mind
though these words say “I love you”
do they know of the truth
cause when the sun goes down
I don’t know if it’s you

Daughter

black hair brown eyes,
soft hands hold me tight
black hair, brown eyes
keep her close, don’t lose her sight

it’s a love that reaches far
no matter where we are
it’s brighter than the sun 
and deeper than the sea

fly, fly robin
chase the sun across the sea
the sky’s the limit
be the woman you’re called to be
make your father proud 
don’t make momma frown
be in bed by ten
you know i love you so

black hair, brown eyes
hair gets long, feet jump farther
white hair, old bones
she keeps me close
holds me tight

as the heart rate monitor slows down
she’ll be crying while i’m dying
oh, mama will frown
but what she might forget in that single little moment
is that i’m not really dead for my soul lives in her

fly, fly robin
chase the sun across the sea
the sky’s the limit
be the woman you’re called to be
you've made your father proud 
made your mother smile
in the morning i'll
wake you from your bed
and kiss you on the head

Daughter
