《Train In The Distance (Original Acoustic Demo)》歌词

[00:00:01] Train In The Distance - Paul Simon

[00:00:19] She was beautiful as southern skies

[00:00:21] The night he met her

[00:00:23] She was married to someone

[00:00:27] He was doggedly determined that he would get her

[00:00:31] He was old he was young

[00:00:35] From time to time he'd tip his heart

[00:00:39] But each time she withdrew

[00:00:45] Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

[00:00:49] Everybody thinks it's true

[00:01:00] Well eventually the boy and the girl get married

[00:01:04] Sure enough they have a son

[00:01:08] And though they both were occupied

[00:01:10] With the child she carried

[00:01:13] Disagreements had begun

[00:01:16] And in a while they fell apart

[00:01:20] It wasn't hard to do

[00:01:27] Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

[00:01:31] Everybody thinks it's true

[00:01:41] Two disappointed believers

[00:01:44] Two people playing the game

[00:01:48] Negotiations and love songs

[00:01:51] Are often mistaken for one and the same

[00:02:01] Now the man and the woman

[00:02:03] Remain in contact

[00:02:06] Let us say it's for the child

[00:02:10] With disagreements about the meaning

[00:02:12] Of a marriage contract

[00:02:15] Conversations hard and wild

[00:02:18] But from time to time

[00:02:20] He makes her laugh

[00:02:22] She cooks a meal or two

[00:02:29] Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

[00:02:33] Everybody thinks it's true

[00:02:43] What is the point of this story

[00:02:47] What information pertains

[00:02:50] The thought that life could be better

[00:02:53] Is woven indelibly

[00:02:58] Into our hearts

[00:03:01] And our brains
