Love You On A Train

(Kathy Kallick & Scott Nygaard, Red Shirt Pub. Co./BMI)

I got on the train in Barcelona
Cried all the way to the border of France
Pulled myself together as the door slid open
When a gentleman offered me a cigarette

And the train rolled on and on
And I rocked all alone
So many years before
I could love you on a train

A sleeper car through Germany
I finally slept so gratefully
In crisp and lovely linen sheets
Along the Rhine at a quarter to three

And the train rolled on and on
And I rocked all alone
Your face before me now
I dreamed I loved you on a train

The polished wood, the stainless steel
The humming rails, the rolling wheels
The eloquent serenity
The power and the privacy
The rocking, rolling, shrieking, growling, modern, stately magic of a train
I want to love you on a train

Through majestic Swiss alps scenery
Or maybe the shores of Lake Louise
Drinking endless silver pots of tea
In a long and languid reverie

And the train rolls on and on
We could rock there all alone
In our cramped little elegant room
Like Myrna Loy on her honeymoon
I want to love you on a train
