[Verse 1] They say the train leaves at night We were lying in beds fingers tangled in the wires Four ways blocked by August corn Better board up the windows hide the gold inside the barn [Verse 2] I swear I hear her in the field Drifters sneaking past the gate and looking for your steel The rumors spread throughout the school Of a saber tooth tiger swimming in the empty pool [Bridge] She was the river that collapsed the dam, she's walking on my land Bows and arrows travеl speed of light You keep propping up the kids, they're gonna suffocatе the fire You go deeper in the woods, your signal never gets higher [Verse 3] And the pictures kept moving around the school Of a wholly mammoth sunbathing by the pool And the saber tooth smiling for the pictures looking cool And the wooly mammoth sunbathes by the pool [Bridge] And they mix within moonlight where the lonely hearts move And I hope I get baptized in a lake Or coked-up Greenwich village Or a Mardi Gras parade Time is a new morning wrapped in weeds Yeah, time means nothing if you can dream Time is everything in between [Outro] I heard the train leaves at night Leaves at night Hale bop coming better put your best shoes on Hale bop coming better put your best shoes on We walked to the river singing whole lotta love We walked to the river singing whole lotta love We walked to the river singing whole lotta love The train leaves at night
