THE DAY WE CAUGHT THE TRAIN

I never saw it as the start its more a change of heart Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot I laid my plans in solid rock Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling its a holiday. You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away Roll a number, write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10 Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in I'll miss the crush and I'm home again Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away, step into the sky in the starbright feeling its a brighter day You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away Roll a number, write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train You and I should ride the tracks and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow and you and I when we're coming down we're only getting back and you know I feel no sorrow When you find that things are getting wild don't you want days like these When you find that things are getting wild don't you want days like these When you find that things are getting wild don't you need days like these When you find that things are getting wild don't you want days like these
