Standard (EADGBE)

Sitting in the train to nowhere, I am staring into the world outside

Green fields as far as the eye can reach, the sky above is opened wide

A suitcase with my broken dreams is lying in the rack

Packed up memories, no reason to look back

Refrain

I see her face in the mirror, but I cannot see her eyes

I hear her voice in the sky, but I only hear her lies

I see her face reflecting in the water disturbed by the tears I am crying

No one cares, the train rides on, mile by mile away from home

The passengers are prisoners traveling like some rolling stones

Sitting here in the compartment, close-lipped with blind eyes

Trapped in the rules of our own device.

Refrain ...

When our train passes dirty suburbs, linen is drying in the sooty wind

Some kids are playing in the back-yard, a scene just like an old blue-print

I tear her mendacious letter, the scraps of paper fly away

carrying the first true words she said

Refrain ...
