Train in the distance - Paul Simon She was beautiful as southern skies the night he met her She was married to someone He was doggedly determined that he would get her He was old she was young From time to time Hed tip his heart But each time she withdrew Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks its true Well eventually the boy and the girl get married Sure enough they have a son And though they were both occupied with the child she carried Disagreements had begun And in a while They fell apart It wasnt hard to do Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks its true Two disappointed believers Two people playing the game Negotiations and love songs Are often mistaken for one and the same Now the man and the woman they remain in contact Let us say its for the child With disagreements about the meaning of a marriage contract Conversations hard and wild But from time to time he makes her laugh She cooks a meal of two Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks its true What is the point of this story What information pertains The thought that life could be better Is woven indelibly Into our hearts and our brains youtu.be/cy3VrmjGWjo
