Saw a train derailed this morning
On its side by the side of the track
On the front written bound for glory
Just the one way written on the back
Bloody moon and a wounded sun
No one knows when their time will come
If you could then promise me this
Let me know on the very last kiss
Keep me sane and keep me warm
Keep my insides from out the storm
Drag me out of this deep I'm in
River running faster than I can swim
Saw your blood on that patch of wall
Keep on banging and that thing will fall
I know your scull heavy as lead
That brick will crack long before your head
I've been loved and I've been burned
I've watched as the springtime turned
All too soon into winter rain
Keep me warm and keep me sane
Keep me sane and keep me warm
Keep my insides from out the storm
Drag me out of this deep I'm in
River running faster than I can swim.
