The Train of Lover's Lost
A symbolic trainride with Sampson, a prince and Alfie.
I'm a songwriter writing just for fun.
I'm a songwriter writing just for fun.
Story behind the song
A highly symbolic song about a relationship, or rather, the fears about a relationship.
Lyrics
Got aboard the night train
I'm going to see my girl
I snuck down in a soft seat
and then the wheels began to twirl.
A prince was sitting 'cross the aisle
with sorrow in his eyes.
He had a slipper made of glass
which didn't look his size.
Just when I was about to talk
Samson, who sat next to me,
he asked who I was gonna see
while he twiddled with a lock.
"I'm going to see my one true love
my angel,
my dove,
whom I'm thinking of
from dawn 'till dusk each day..."
Then Alfie, who had just come in,
was looking kind of cross
He said to Sampson: "Doesn't he know
This is the train of lover's lost?"
"What do you mean?" I said nonplussed.
He said "Well, simple lad,
you've been washed up, bamboozled, had
you're here, you're one of us."
No... I said...
"I'm going to see my one true love
my angel,
my dove,
whom I'm thinking of
from dawn 'till dusk each day..."
Then suddenly I woke up
noticed that we had arrived
I got out, wondered 'bout this dream
so real it seemed alive.
I checked my phone to ascertain
that someone's texted me.
My girl, she wanted to talk to me
I turned to face the train.
In the doorway Alfie stood
holding out his hand.
No, I said and turned around,
walked away a man.
