Ward Thomas - Stop This Train lyrics

No, I'm not colourblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight

Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't, but honestly
Won't someone stop this train?

Don't know how else to say it
Don't wanna see my parents go
One generation's length away
From finding life out on my own

Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't, but honestly
Won't someone stop this train?

So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man
Said "help me understand"
He said, "turn sixty-eight
You'll renegotiate

Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand, tried honestly
We'll never stop this train"

Once in a while, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And we're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
'Til you cry when you're driving
Away in the dark

Singing stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't, 'cause now I see
I'll never stop this train
