Railroad Wings - Patty Griffin

You took a silver train

All the way to Maine

On the way to everything

Railroad wings

There’s things you don’t know you know

I thought anger had told me what to do

With emptiness chasing me

On the border I found you

You should’ve heard her sing

Railroad wings

This emptiness has followed me like a cold blue sky

And it has not been easy for you

There’s things I’ll never tell you till the day I die

Things I’ve done I can never undo

Hiding everything

Railroad wings

All these years along, the lights are growing dim

I hear you sing your song in the next room

And as far as I can tell, ‘most everything means nothing

Except some things that mean everything

Railroad wings

Railroad wings

Railroad wings

Railroad wings

Railroad wings
