Meredith Moon - Slow Movin’ Train

“Slow Movin’ Train”

Seems like only yesterday I was dipping my paddle in old Cache bay
And the white pine lined the shore far as I could see
But now the ground is cold and wet and the leaves are piled around the shed
And I’m just as lonesome as I could ever be

And time
Time rolls on like a slow-movin’ train

You ever get that feelin’ when the little things lose their meaning
Like all you ever had is done and gone
Like the days are your enemies, and all the hours in-between
And you dread the sight of another dawn
And time
Time rolls on like a slow-movin’ train

It’s a shame to look in the mirror and watch yourself disappear
Like something’s come and grabbed you from behind
And you say that they can’t hurt me, don’t fear the things that you can’t see
But they’re coming for me babe, just give it time

And time
Time rolls on like a slow-movin’ train

There was a time when you let me in and made me feel alive again
A love like June, radiating lilac perfume
And it came in like the autumn, babe, when you threw away the love we’d made
And now I know that train’s coming down the track

And time
Time rolls on like a slow-movin’ train

There was a time when my drinking helped me process what I’s thinking
Made the sky more blue, made my hands play
But now the time has come and passed, like nothin’ good ever lasts
And everyone’s gone away

And time
Time rolls on like a slow-movin’ train
