Freight Train

Starin' like a blind bat
Walkin' like a stray cat
You're not who you used to be
When life was plain and simple
And your wife was at your table
Now she's packed her bags and she's headed East

You're talkin' much wiser
And you're thinkin' much clearer
But I can still see you ache
Your house is all but empty
And escrow's comin' quickly
And you're talkin' about the comin' change

Time, time just keeps on movin'
Movin' like a freight train
Why, you can't ask why
You'll just get swallowed in a hurricane
Accept what's come and gone
Cause the present's all we got

It'd be easy as pie
Just to give up and die
And wonder how it all went wrong
To drown there in your sorrows
And worry 'bout tomorrow
and let the past just you up

You're burnin' like a matchstick
Scattered like ashes
All over the darkest seas
This wasn't what you pictured two years ago
But sometimes things happen
And we've got no control

Time, time just keeps on moving
Moving like a freight train
Why, you can't ask why
You'll just get swallowed in a hurricane
Accept what's come and gone
Cause the present's all we got

Oh my friend I'll meet you
Somewhere in the middle
Somewhere between the desert and the sea

Time, time just keeps on movin'
Moving like a freight train
Why, you can't ask why
You'll just get swallowed in a hurricane

Time, time just keeps on movin'
Time, time just keeps on movin'
Time, time just keeps on movin'
