lyrics

Where’d you get your yellow railroad?
Where’d you find your magic spell?
Where was it that I saw you?
So long ago when autumn fell

I was worried you were leaving
You’ll never know how much I did
Sit and watch you make your face up
The mother that could’ve been, always hid

I keep imagining a forest
Someplace far away, I ain’t been
And there’s a girl who looks like you
When the rain’s fallin’ and light is dim

I’m okay
Time has a way
Of making things not matter

I’m older now yet still young
Too young, too dumb to get it right
I’ve been wandering worn out daydreams
Until I lose myself at night

At times I’m thinking about my old friends
The ones who know what you are
The ones you thought to run away with
But you never got too far

You used to play under the big tree
With ghosts, gods, and plastic parts
You didn’t make many plans then
Following a map of the heart

Memory fades
Time has a way
Of making things not matter

I’ve got to ride that yellow railroad
I’m gonna use that magic spell
I’m gonna die in that forest
I’ll meet you there where autumn fell

I’ve been waiting.
