Tim Barry - Steel Road lyrics
[Tim Barry - Steel Road lyrics]
I can hear a train passing
At the Rivanna Junction
I can’t decide on which way it’s going
Probably to Gladstone and on
West to Lynchburg
Then off to Roanoke and on to god only knows
And I can’t understand the way
That you see me
And I don’t understand the way I’m seeing you
Maybe you’re too young maybe I’m too old
To feel alone this close to you
I can hear my Father screaming in
The kitchen at my Mom
They’re throwing dishes again
And there I am a man at age seven
In my room alone in this world of stone
I don’t know if I know them
I don’t if I will
I don’t know if I care either way
But, I know I trust no one
And I can’t be trusted to be here tomorrow
After our brightest day
My heart
It beats slow now and without repeating
What I’ve seen and wished I’d never done
I’ve tried and I’ve tried, girl
To see us as different
I’m saying I’m leaving without
Saying it’s done
And you don’t know me and I don’t know you
And I don’t know me and you don’t know you
Let’s be strong now and accept
This might not last
Today has passed tomorrow’ll be new
And I can hear a train
Passing at the Rivanna Junction
I can’t decide on which way it’s going
At the Rivanna Junction
I can’t decide on which way it’s going
Probably to Gladstone and on
West to Lynchburg
Then off to Roanoke and on to god only knows
And I can’t understand the way
That you see me
And I don’t understand the way I’m seeing you
Maybe you’re too young maybe I’m too old
To feel alone this close to you
I can hear my Father screaming in
The kitchen at my Mom
They’re throwing dishes again
And there I am a man at age seven
In my room alone in this world of stone
I don’t know if I know them
I don’t if I will
I don’t know if I care either way
But, I know I trust no one
And I can’t be trusted to be here tomorrow
After our brightest day
My heart
It beats slow now and without repeating
What I’ve seen and wished I’d never done
I’ve tried and I’ve tried, girl
To see us as different
I’m saying I’m leaving without
Saying it’s done
And you don’t know me and I don’t know you
And I don’t know me and you don’t know you
Let’s be strong now and accept
This might not last
Today has passed tomorrow’ll be new
And I can hear a train
Passing at the Rivanna Junction
I can’t decide on which way it’s going
