LIVE NEAR A TRAIN

When the january wind brings the smell of the ocean, and the nights get too long to bear
And your reasons for staying are long since forgotten and the song of the road's in the air
You just seem to spend all your time by the window, or walking around in the rain
Take the advice of a natural born traveller, you've just got to live near a train

You've got to live near a train if you don't want to go crazy
Right next to the rails that run through your mind
Close to the rumble and wail of the whistle
Find you a railroad and live near the line

I've fell out more bars than most people walk into but lately it's not been my style
Music's what stopped me from falling to pieces and taking me home for a while
If you find you are spending your time drawing circles and rubbing them all out again
Take the advice of a natural born traveller, you've just got to live near a train

If you're travelling light on your road to salvation and the load's still too heavy to bear
And why is a question that you'll never answer and when's more important than where
And seeing the same piece of sky from your window is the reason you're leaving again
Take the advice of a natural born traveller, you've just got to live near a train
