Past the Fog

Sit down and set off our secrets
In fine black pen
Maybe someday we’ll see them again
Close the book for now
I’ll take the next train west

The sinking sun sets the frozen air on fire
Nothing to do but run run run
Keep heading west
Don’t look back
I won’t look back

Chorus:
And they say that you’ll never get out of that town
I’m running away
Sorry I can’t stay
So squint or look away so that you can’t see past the fog
Settle in for the winter

Hop of the train just north of Monterey
Stumble blindly down the coast
Don’t hear any engines
Don’t see any people
People are what I need the most

Chorus

Maybe someday you’ll escape
Leave that bitter town behind
We can go forward together
Falling in and out of our minds

Chorus
