I see people in their slumber
as the darkness rushes by
and there's nothing in their daydreams
a laugh wouldn't justify
The cold air rushes through my veins
and penetrates the window panes
but sleep won't come
until I'm finally there

I think about the coastal lights
on balmy warm dark summer nights
Without a care and no disguise
I gently kiss your tired eyes
And the rhythm of the big ole wheels
against the icy tracks of steel
plays a song that echos
to the beating of our hearts

Words that evoke beautiful memories that still make tears well up in my eyes. The train ride through the giant redwood forest was one of the most awe-inspiring moments of my life. I think you caught my tears on film that day.
Such a beautiful write that only you could pen.

EXcellant lines for song lyrics and can almost feel myself on that old train, recalls memories of my youth when I would travel halfway across Canada on the CNR. The railways had a romance all their own and I miss that era sometimes. Nice to see you posting again

Just lovely and the sound of the lingering lonely whistle tops it all off....

Be safe,
