[Verse 1] Grief is a freight train Oh, what's a little pain? When you've got so much to love Grief is a freight train Oh, what's a little pain? When you've got so much to love [Verse 2] Forever is a slow train Oh, what a vivid thing When you've got so much to lose Hope is a fast car Only takes you so far Boy, you got a lot to learn [Chorus] Close your eyes Take to the sky like a big blue kite Leave your woes behind Close my eyes Trying to remember what you said to me Before you said goodbye [Verse 3] Love is a slow song playing on the radio I know every word by heart Happiness is soft light That we see our lives by Only fade into the dark [Chorus] Close your eyes Take to the sky like a big blue kite Leave your woes behind Close my eyes Trying to remember what you said to me Before you said goodbye
