lyrics

From these new eyes looking in,
I'm a freight train; can't you hear my whistle blowing?
I could have sworn that I've known your name,
Or those dogs that love the rain - probably them.

So I sat in your rocking chair
and I played the songs I know that you love to hear.
Memories like a cooling wind;
Remember when we could have been - now we are.

There's a long way to go
but I'm gonna see it through all the suffering.
I'm a long way from home.
Where my teardrops fell a new flower's growing.

Yellow bird sing a song to me.
Can't you see the trees swing in its harmony?
There's a teen with an empty spray can,
Fuck the man, you know we can, you know we will.

You stand right up just to sit back down.
Are you nervous you're a man trying to speak aloud?
The more we give is the less that we can take.
for ourselves and what we have is just a fake.

There's a long way to go
but I'm gonna see it through all the suffering.
I'm a long way from home.
Where my teardrops fell a new flower's growing.

There's no truth inside the barrel of a gun.
I won't be there when the battle is won
cause this battle ain't never gonna be done.
