Familiar with the platform
Sat here far too long
Waited on the twelve fifteen
While trying to write a memorable song
The Train pulled in and quietly left the station
While I was deep in conversation
With myself and a memory
Trying to find the lock and key
My journey and existence
My life and long distance
Are so much like that Mystery train
Never to be heard or seen again
My memories have long since left
Never to return or pass the test
Of knowledge and experience
Ability or competence
I was once able to learn how to drive
Tie my shoes and try em for size
But somehow now the will has gone
Like the train I should have been on
My journey and existence
My life and my long distance
Are so much like that last missed train
Never to be heard or seen again
Now I have to wait an hour or more
The next one due One Thirty four
Pay attention the thought in my mind
Don't miss another or get left behind
Familiar with the platform
Sat here far too long
Waiting on the last train home
Writing a song sat all alone.
My journey and existence
My life and my long distance
Are so much like that ghost train
Never to be heard or seen again
All aboard for god knows where
Cant miss my stop but do I care
My destination is waiting for me
My heart waits there to set me free
