Rotterdam - Chuck Ragan

Took a walk in Rotterdam, thinking about her train

All along the banls of memory, holding tide away

And on the end of every corner i could almost hear her sound

Time went by in ecstasy, walking next to walls

And the color of the water, was the rails that she was on

And when the whistles blew far away, i felt she knew somehow

For the train often rattles, from the rails shaking ground

I close my eyes and almost hear her now

Took a walk in Rotterdam, dodging spoke and wheel

And a few unnerving riders, agile or insane

And the rest, victims of fashion, lord we’re all to blame

Found myself a bar stool, and something on the rocks

I was dreaming I could ride the sun, westward as it dropped

And find her at the station, gracefully rolling a stop

For the train often rattles, from the rails shaking ground

I close my eyes and see her westward bound

Well i’ll keep that mind a wandering, of love on the rails

Slow rolling days, steel pushing home

Mile over miles gone in the blink of an eye…

For the train often rattles, from the rails shaking ground

I close my eyes and see her westward bound…
