Paul Simon - Train in the Distance (original acoustic demo) lyrics

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Train in the distance 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, he was young From time to time, he'd tip his heart But each time she withdrew Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks it's true Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks it's true Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Train in the distance Well, eventually, the boy and the girl get married Sure enough, they have a son And though they both were occupied with the child she carried Disagreements had begun And in a while, they just fell apart It wasn't hard to do Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks it's true Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks it's true Two disappointed believers Two people playing the game Negotiations and love songs Are often mistaken for one and the same Well, now the man and the woman, they remain in contact Let us say it's for the child With disagreements about the meaning of a marriage contract Conversations hard and wild But from time to time, he just makes her laugh She cooks a meal or two Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks it's true Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks it's 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 Like a train in the distance Train in the, train in the Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo Whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo Whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo Whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
