I never thought that it would come to this,
To watch myself leaving you behind.
But you went to great lengths to clear my way,

And like this train, you'll take a long, long time,
To reach the end of the line,
Like I did.
Like I did.

The farms and the rivers slide away out there,
These towns all look like my home town.
No-one could blame you for getting out of there,

But like this train, you'll take a long, long time,
To reach the end of the line,
Like I did.
Like I did.

You say they'll chang in time,
We won't feel so strange but I,
I don't believe you.
I don't believe you.

The power lines are dancing overhead,
The wind is shaking up the trees.
I wish I'd know how I could have made you see,

But like this train, you'll take a long, long time,
To reach the end of the line,
Like I did.
Like I did.

Like this train, you'll take a long, long time,
To reach the end of the line,
Like I did.
Like I did.

Like this train.
Like this train.
Like this train.
