lyrics

The Way Things Are (© 2011 Paul Lilley)

I am waiting for my train to come
Headed out west where I am bound
Then I saw her standing by me
I‟ll take you there, she says, yeah, I‟ll take you
there

She started small with talk of sun and rain
What was for dinner, and what town came next
Then life happened, faith, hope, and dreams
I‟ll take you there, I said, yeah, I‟ll take you
there

We sat in silence, all words were spent
Not uncomfortable, just the way things are
Train it flies by, old and abandoned town
I‟ll take you there, it says, yeah, I‟ll take you
there

I‟ll take you there, I‟ll take you there
I‟ll take you there, I‟ll take you there

I am waiting for my train to come
Headed back east where I belong
Now I don‟t see her that much anymore
I took her there that day, yeah, I took her there
