Lyrics

Why when our parting time's so near
Can't our feelings be more clear
Lord how I long for that pounding sound
Of your train moving through my underground

Cause I'm your rail ridin' Rose my petals are sweet
I'm gonna love the toes off my engineer's feet

Why do the hours slide away
How come I can't find a word to say
Might leave a memory of love behind
The empty space ahead is filling up my head

If I were the Queen of Hearts
We'd be moving together not further apart
I'd cash in my tickets for one night with you
I'd ride your sweet rails 'til your steam turned blue

I've been a free rider home on your rails
I'll build a new fire I won't fail

When your whistle calls me I'll start moving back
I'll wrap my arms around you and let you blow your stack
I swear we'll be together in the years ahead
We'll be shacking up the ties on that old roadbed

Cause I'm your rail ridin' Rose my petals are sweet
I'm gonna love the toes off my engineer's feet
