. Poetry from The Great In-Between: Let the railway tracks sing

Let the railway tracks sing

 



We once collided like two random raindrops in Autumn.


Froze together in the cold winter

Then separated when Spring came


In the first rains


We washed away the memories

But somehow remained the same


But who knows what Summer may bring?

Maybe we'll meet again


As the railway tracks sing


Maybe I'll offer up my soul

In a golden wedding ring


Who knows what Summer may bring?


Who knows what Summer may bring?


Maybe your heart will find mine

Maybe we'll begin again


Like two raindrops in Autumn

Falling in the rain


Frozen together through winter

Too afraid to say goodbye


Then Spring came

And carried us away


But I'm still praying for Summer

To bring us back someday


Oh, let the railway tracks sing

Let the wedding bells ring


Let our libidos' ring

If we're meant to begin again


To free our pain

To begin

Again


Who knows what Summer may bring?

Who knows what Summer may bring?


Maybe we'll collide again

Maybe we'll begin again


Two raindrops in Autumn

Two hearts in the rain


Maybe Summer will find us

And bring us back again.
