The Railway Children

First Notebook

The Railway Children


I set it down
You cut it up
Then say I think I know
I think I know you

It's a sleepy time
Do you mind I don't sleep
I miss the motion
I miss the emotion

This memory's long
You bite your tongue
Don't say it if you don't mean it
This memory's long
You bite your tongue
Don't say it if you don't mean it

This could be a bad choice
For one of us
This could be a bad choice
For one of us

Understand just what you want
Set it down
What have you done

What have you done
Understand just what I want
Set it down what have we done
What have we done

This memory's long
Your bite your tongue
Don't say it if you don't mean it
This memory's long
Your bite your tongue
Don't say it if you don't mean it

This could be a bad choice
For one of us, of us
Looks like that first notebook
Fell into the wrong hands
