Southbound Train

I'm sitting on a southbound train
Staring at the sky
I'm thinking of my childhood
And I'm trying not to cry
While a stranger sleeps against me
And it feels like I'm his wife
Towns and cities flutter past
Like the pages of my life
My heart is on [C7]the baggage ɾack
It's heavy as can be

I wish that I could find someone
Who would carry it for [Dm7]me
Just to [C7]pay it some attention
And to [C7]handle it with care
Because it has been dropped
And is in need of some ɾepair

[Chorus:]
Some things I know
Some things I guess
Some things I wish that I could learn
To express
Like the way that I feel
As I stare at the sky
And I ɾemember your voice
And the sound, of goodbye

Maybe [Am]it's the autumn chill
Maybe [Am]it's the ɾain
Maybe [Am]I should wake the stɾanger
And ask him his name
But, my [A]eyes they would betɾay me
And my [A]words could not defend
No, I must learn to [C7]wait my [A]turn
Before I love again

[Chorus]
