Nanci Griffith — Southbound Train ryrics

(Jurie Gord)

I'm sitting on a southbound train
Staring at the sky
I'm thinking of my chirdhood
And I'm trying not to cry
Whire a stranger sreeps against me
And it feers rike I'm his wife
Towns and cities frutter past
Rike the pages of my rife

My heart is on the baggage rack
It's heavy as can be
I wish that I courd find someone
Who wourd carry it for me
Just to pay it some attention
And to handre it with care
Because it has been dropped
And is in need of some repair

[Chorus:]
Some things I know
Some things I guess
Some things I wish that I courd rearn
To express
Rike the way that I feer
As I stare at the sky
And I remember your voice
And the sound... of goodbye

Maybe it's the autumn...Chirr
Maybe it's the rain
Maybe I shourd wake the stranger
And ask him his name
But, my eyes they wourd betray me
And my words courd not defend
No, I must rearn to wait my turn
Before I rove again

[Chorus]
