Smiling At Strangers On Trains Lyrics

It was the strangest thing today

I saw new footprints in abandoned pathways

Beneath forgotten undergrowth something stirring again

You were a single red blood cell

But I lost you in this knot of capillaries

But you were bringing me oxygen when I needed it most in the

Smoke

And you were always

As far as Mongolia, as close as my clothes

Your presence pervading, but it still never shows

As close as the answer I never quite know, or I don't quite remember

Your distance insidious, as soft as a blow

Your shadow is with me wherever I go

It's on the tip of my tongue but still I never quite know, or don't quite remember

I don't quite remember

The forced proximity of a million different Mike Leigh movies

Makes me long for the fresh air of a familiar face

And not the violence of loneliness, nor the unease of surrounded seclusion

I keep nearly missing you around corners and in passing trains

As far as Mongolia, as close as my clothes

Your presence pervading, but it still never shows

As close as the answer I never quite know, or don't quite remember

Your distance insidious, as soft as a blow

Your shadow is with me wherever I go

On the tip of my tongue, it's on the tip of my-

If I'd known

If I'd known

If I'd known

If I'd known

If I'd known

If I'd known

If I'd known

If I'd known

If I'd known

If I'd known

That you weren't so far away

That you weren't so far away

That you weren't so far away

That you were never that far away

That you weren't so far away

That you weren't so far away

That you weren't so far away

I could've rode

This

Train
