Train Down Town
Song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro
These are lyrics for the intro to the Empire Falls soundtrack by Paul Grabowsky
Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance.
Piano
Back on the train down town
Watching her walk down the isle.
As she…
Glanced my way then sat down.
With such style.
Strings
But I can’t say: “Howdy do?”
‘til she smiles.
Baritone
Yet on the train I feel such joy and hope in my heart…
Oh what a start.
Oboe
My life is clean floors and flags unfurled.
Her life is diamonds, and black pearls.
Gems cerise,
A fine swiss time piece.
Yeah, we’re from different worlds.
Oboe
No more train rides each day
Got a new job near my home, yeah.
Still think of what
May have been, with a poem.
The End.
