THIS LONELY LINE

THIS LONELY LINE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

AS THE WHISTLE BLOWS

THAT OLD TRAIN SLOWS

OUT THERE ON THE LINE

RUNNING UNDER THE STARS

I CAN HEAR THE WHEELS

ROLLING AWAY

LEAVING ONLY SILENCE AND

MOONLIT SAGE

THEN TIME TURNED THE PAGE

NIGHT INTO DAY

SLOW AS CHANGE CAN BE

AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE

IT DOESN'T

LIVE HERE AT ALL

TIME NEARLY STANDS STILL

OLD WAYS

 TRIED AND TRUE 

WILL ALWAYS GET YOU

THROUGH A DAY

HARD TO SURVIVE

BUT EVERY MINUTE

WORTH THE FIGHT

THAT OLD TRAIN

 DON'T RUN ANYMORE 

THE ONE PLACE

TIME FORGOT

THIS LONELY LINE

IS ALL I'VE GOT

NOT MUCH EVER CHANGES

NEVER SOMETHING NEW

JUST THE WATER

IN THE RIVER

RUNNING THROUGH

AND THE SEASONS CHANGING

EACH ONE MORE

STUBBORN THAN THE LAST

NOTHING MOVED FAST

NOT EVEN TIME

FREE AS THE WIND

ITS NOT SO HARD TO TAKE

WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN

THE SERENITY GETS INSIDE

FEEL YOURSELF

BEGIN TO SLIDE

INTO A REALM

SURROUNDED BY THE STARS

COVERED BY THE MOON

STEP INSIDE A DREAM

THE WORLD CAN WAIT

WHILE I CRAWL INSIDE

TO INVESTIGATE

PART OF THE MYSTERY

A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE

A CHAPTER IN THE BOOK

MAKE YOU STOP

FOR A SECOND LOOK

FACE OF SOMEONE 

YOU MIGHT KNOW 

STANDING RIGHT INSIDE

YOUR LOVE

LIKE SOME KIND OF SIGN

ON THIS LONELY LINE

MAYBE IF TIMES

GIVEN A CHANCE

IT JUST MIGHT CHANGE

EVERYTHING

TURN ANY DOUBTS AROUND

THROW THEM IN THE RING

SOMEWHERE 

ON THIS LONELY LINE

JUST ON

THE OTHER SIDE

SOMEONES TRYING TO FIND ME

CHANGE WHAT IS

INTO WHAT COULD BE
