Third Engine

The sky grows bigger every day

And the other week i hopped on a train

Cutting through state lines

To come to you as the crow flies

And out there in there offing everything was melon and orange

Did you know, my sweet

That i once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?

I rolled over and over

Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets

I just want you to know

That every pool of water reminds me of you

Is that all right?

I hope you think it's cool

'cause sometimes a train can't go as fast as i want it to

Everything seemed a little easier

When we weren't one hundred miles apart

The person across from me

Sitting in her train seat, reminded me of you

And i looked out past her cheeks

Through the glass-light conduit

But the sun had sunk already

Disappeared into new jersey

Oh, why don't they have phones on these things?
