Really nice job. I wasnt sure how i would like this song with lyrics, but they are very tasteful and fot the simultaneous longing,  joy, and nostalgia this song evokes. Really well done. Bravo!

Also, the musicianship was excellent. Really stirring. Beautiful guitar work. Just gorgeous. But really everything was better than flawless.

wonderful - I love these strumming guitars with the perling piano. And the vocals are stunning. Great song.

Loving that lead guitar - very tasteful playing

  Last Train Home 
Music by Pat Metheny & lyrics by Dave Olsen
 
 
Now the day is just about done
Don’t see the end of what I’ve begun
My thoughts are full of former dreams
It seems like years have flown away
And still I’m waiting for
The last train home
 
Travelled over countless roads
And never stopped to lighten my load
The truth is always further on
Much further on inside myself
And still I’m waiting for
The last train home
 
Bridge:
Far off, the distant sound
A sound so familiar
It echoes through my soul
Calling me away
 
In my dream I am on that train
I am speeding back towards home again
The road I took is not yet through
I wish I knew where it will end
And still I’m waiting for
The last train home
