Stop This Train, Part 1.

A song I've been listening to that I wanted to share the lyrics to.

***

No, I'm not colorblind...
I know the world is black and white.
Try to keep an open mind,
But I just can't sleep on this tonight.
Stop this train,
I wanna get off
And go home again.
I can't take the speed it's moving in.
I know I can't,
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it,
Don't want to see my parents go.
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own.
Stop this train,
I wanna get off
And go home again.
I can't take the speed it's moving in,
I know I can't,
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older,
I'm only good at being young.
So I play the numbers game,
To find a way to say that life has just begun.
Had a talk with my old man,
Said, "Help me understand..."
He said "turn sixty-eight...
You renegotiate."
"Don't stop this train,
Don't for a minute change the place you're in...
And don't think I couldn't ever understand,
I tried my hand.
John, honestly we'll never stop this train."
Once in awhile, when it's good,
It'll feel like it should,
And they're all still around,
And you're still safe and sound,
And you don't miss a thing...
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark.
Singing...
Stop this train,
I wanna get off
And go home again.
I can't take the speed it's moving in;
I know I can,
'Cause now I see I'll never stop this train.

A song by John Mayer, that has "strummed my pain with his fingers." But I can't go on right now... I'm off to work for the night...

But today has been a very reminiscent day... and a day that I am very thankful for having Bobby in my life. More to come...

Ittekimas'!
