Amid the rain and distant lights, I watched it
Wheels rumbling with a sound that split
My thoughts into many
~~~
Cigarette smoke painting blue coils that swam
Before my sight only to appear as a pentagram
Beside the steel tracks
~~~
Miles of secrets trundled along with each turn
Tracks laced with rust lay ready to burn
Another town behind
~~~
The storm thrashed outside as I sat still
The rain drops pelting the car at will
As if flung from an angry sea
~~~
The train had long ago left the town untouched
A haunting song hammering out too much
Sadness, in such a short time
~~~
Flickering lights bursting into night as matches
Implanting nightmare visions as one catches
Their shadows after dark
~~~
I sat there wondering when the next train would come
My foot rested on the pedal between the future and some
Distant sound of a country singer
~~~
Taking me back to Somewhere~before today
