Scream through the silence and over the hills 10 thousand years have gone by Passing the islands and broken down mills The train silhouettes through the skyline Mere emotion, see the ocean Just for one day Life speeded up since you threw me a smile Please don't jump on the train for a short while yet Waking up with cold feet Wine stains on my shirt Flat out in sparse fields of dry wheat Going to Sunday church Leaves on the trees splinter out of control While the wind blows the dust on my face Down in the valley where nobody goes I can't help feeling sad in this place Mere motion, see the ocean Just for one day The whistle of the distant train The whistle of the distant train
