Текст Nanci Griffith – Southbound Train

I’m sitting on a southbound train
Staring at the sky
I’m thinking of my childhood
And I’m trying not to cry

My heart is on the baggage rack
It’s heavy as can be
I wish that I could find someone
Who would carry it for me
Just to pay it some attention
And to handle it with care
Because it has been dropped and
Is in need of some repair

Some things I know
Some things I guess
Some things I wish I could learn
To express
Like the way that I feel
As I stare at the sky
And I remember your voice
And the sound of goodbye

0r maybe it’s the autumn… chill
Maybe it’s the rain
Maybe I should wake the stranger
And ask him his name
But, my eyes they would betray me
And my words could not defend

Some things I know
Some things I guess
Some things I wish that I could learn
To express
Like the way that I feel
As I stare at the sky
And I remember your voice
And the sound of goodbye
