lyrics

SATURDAY TRAIN

I’m in a tunnel of grief
On a Saturday train
Hurtling along
In the echoing dark

Til it slams to a stop
And the train powers down
So they dim all the lights
And I wait in the gloom

While it stops for too long
and all I can hear
Is dark water running
And rats on the track

What if I never get out of here?
What if I never can reach the light?
What if this Saturday train never moves again?

I’m being buried alive
In a tomb made of turf
The weight of the earth
Is crushing my chest

I can hear my own heart
I won’t trust it again
It’s beating too fast
It’s beating too loud

If I let myself sleep
I might never wake up
I might drown in these tears
I might drown in these tears

What if I never get out of here?
What if I never can reach the light?
What if this Saturday train never moves again?
