Lyrics

Like a southbound train Here's a song for leaving Don't you know the pain It's a part of the healing Moon with a halo Like a pearl in a peasant's hand Religion on the radio Advertising a promised land Everything that attaches Someday falls apart When the plan collapses It can break your heart Like a southbound train This is a song for leaving Don't you know the pain It's a part of the healing Like a southbound train Here is a song for leaving Don't you know the pain It's a part of the healing To the airport in the rain Sadness seeping through Leaving faith on a jet plane Hurling through the blue Love is the tear That taught me to fall Whispered in my ear Soothing me to my soul Like a southbound train Here's a song for leaving Don't you know the pain It's a part of the healing Quiet constellations I don't walk through the night Silent salutations Under a southwestern sky Battlegrounds behind me Smoke in the trees Memories to remind me Puts my soul to ease Like a southbound train Here's a song for leaving Don't you know the pain It's a part of the healing Like a southbound train This is a song for leaving Don't you know the pain It's a part of the healing This is a train Get on the train Get on the train
