lyrics

TRAIN GOING EAST
©
Tim Harrison and Second Avenue Songs 1972

Packed my suitcase and I packed my man
Star spangled night and blue clouds that spanned the skies
We weren’t going blind, weren’t looking behind
Some angel was guiding our way

Chorus:
It’s like a train going east’
Like a beggar at the feast
Like friends in the morning
Up off their knees
It’s like dogs in the alley
Like birds in the air
Like when you float down the street
And you haven’t a care

My friend once told me that he’d had a dream
Filled up with visions that were meant to relieve the mind
I said that’s OK, blow' em on down my way
Cause there’s moving to do but not much time

Chorus

Soaring on bridges and rays of the sun
Sweet windy pastures and a soul on the run from me
The morning time came, dawn played some game
And the rest just took voices to sing
