Lyrics Train in the Distance (original acoustic demo) - Paul Simon
She
was
beautiful
as
southern
skies
the
night
he
met
her
She
was
married
to
someone
He
was
doggedly
determined
that
he
would
get
her
He
was
old,
he
was
young
From
time
to
time,
he′d
tip
his
heart
But
each
time
she
withdrew
Everybody
loves
the
sound
of
a
train
in
the
distance
Everybody
thinks
it's
true
Well,
eventually,
the
boy
and
the
girl
get
married
Sure
enough,
they
have
a
son
And
though
they
both
were
occupied
with
the
child
she
carried
Disagreements
had
begun
And
in
a
while,
they
just
fell
apart
It
wasn′t
hard
to
do
Everybody
loves
the
sound
of
a
train
in
the
distance
Everybody
thinks
it's
true
Two
disappointed
believers
Two
people
playing
the
game
Negotiations
and
love
songs
Are
often
mistaken
for
one
and
the
same
Well,
now
the
man
and
the
woman,
they
remain
in
contact
Let
us
say
it's
for
the
child
With
disagreements
about
the
meaning
of
a
marriage
contract
Conversations
hard
and
wild
But
from
time
to
time,
he
just
makes
her
laugh
She
cooks
a
meal
or
two
Everybody
loves
the
sound
of
a
train
in
the
distance
Everybody
thinks
it′s
true
What
is
the
point
of
this
story?
What
information
pertains?
The
thought
that
life
could
be
better
Is
woven
indelibly
into
our
hearts
and
our
brains
