Slow Train

from Live @ The Ellington by Matt Cal

/

about

A lyrical, 70's Dylan style folk tune about the changing seasons of life with in us all. Age and the changing feelings inside as we grow.

lyrics

It’s a quarter past eight and Im sitting on the back step
Drinking a cup off coffee, thinking about getting on my way
I got a job around the corner and it pays alright
Try to get down there at least a couple hours every day
And aint for the money only a little for the buzzzzz
Yeah I think it’s just because it’s the way

Oh the way things are

And I, yeah Im on that slow train, and I don’t mind
Yeah I’m on that slow train and I feel fine

Well the weathers getting warmer and the days are growing shorter
I got a fresh load of laundry hanging on my line
I watch it rustle around in the easterly breeze
I watch the wind call the birds up in the trees
And I let my mind wander oh so far away
let my mind go almost every day oh yes I do

and I, I’m on that slow train and I feel fine
and I, I’m on that slow train and I ain’t going no where with out you

tonight, I’ll give it all up for you
turn my world from blue into gold for you
tonight

I will make you mine if you make me yours,
I will do those things, I’ll open the doors oh
I can be the man you need me to be

tonight

tonight, I’ll give it all up for you
turn my world from blue into gold for you
tonight
