Third Engine

Lyrics for Third Engine

The sky grows bigger every day And the other week I hopped on a train Cutting through state lines To come to you as the crow flies Out there in the open everything was melon and orange Did you know, my sweet That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep? I just want you to know That every pool of water reminds me of you Is that all right? I hope you think it's cool 'Cause sometimes a train can't go as fast as I want it to Did you know, my sweet That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep? I rolled over and over Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets Everything seemed a little easier When we weren't one hundred miles apart The person across from me Sitting in her train seat, reminded me of you And I looked out past her cheeks Through the glass-light conduit But the sun had sunk Disappeared into New Jersey Oh, why don't they have phones on these things? What can I do? I'm stuck thinking about you. Did you know, my sweet That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep? I rolled over and over Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets Trying to touch your knees
