Don't say one thing one day,
then something else the next day.
I'm trying to keep up with you
it's hard enough when you speak clearly,
but when you're confused,
it's like a goods train running through these rooms.
And I'm reading more into your words than you have put into them,
and that's my problem, but you tied these knots, now you undo them.
You undo them.
Oh and think before you speak my darling.
Cause with your troubled mind,
you're like a goods train running through my life.
We all walk through this world alone,
we keep ourselves untouched, unknown.
You look up to the sky above you,
read this there - I love you.
Oh it's written there,
you know I love you, love you, love you.
But with your troubled mind,
you're like a goods train running through my life.
And when you're down,
you bring me down too,
and babe that's something I would not do.
I know it's hard, yeah I know it's hard,
and baby that's something I don't disregard.
I don't disregard - - -
But with your troubled mind,
you're like a goods train running through my life.
repeat/ad lib to fade.
