Intro

Verse 1

Took a walk in Rotterdam, thinking about her train

 All along the banks of memory, holding tide away

 And on the end of every corner I could almost hear her sound

Time went by in ecstasy, walking next to walls

 And the color of the water, was the rails that she was on

 And when the whistles blew far away, I felt she knew somehow

Chorus

 For the train often rattles, from the rails shaking ground

 I close my eyes and almost hear her now

Verse 2

Took a walk in Rotterdam, dodging spoke and wheel

 And a few unnerving riders, agile or insane

 And the rest, victims of fashion, lord we're all to blame

Found myself a bar stool, and something on the rocks

 I was dreaming I could ride the sun, westward as it dropped

 And find her at the station, gracefully rolling to a stop

Chorus

 For the train often rattles, from the rails shaking ground

 I close my eyes and see her westward bound

Bridge

 Well I'll keep that mind a wandering, of love on the rails

Slow rolling days, steel pushing home

 Mile over miles gone in the blink of an eye

Chorus

 For the train often rattles, from the rails shaking ground

 I close my eyes and see her westward bound
