paroles de chanson This Train Still Runs - Janis Ian

I felt a rumble in my heart, over the mountains
As the engine ate the spark, spitting out the miles
Times when I tried to jump the track
Weight of the world upon my back
Still after all is said and done – this train still runs

refrain:
It doesn't matter where it's gone
This train still runs
And though the baggage weighs a ton
We carry on
Nothing is forever young – I'm not done

This train still runs
I had a friend I left behind, back at the station
We used to burn the power lines, racing with the wind
But time has the manners of a thief
Young love turns bittersweet
Still we keep that lantern hung – this train still runs

It doesn't matter where it's gone
This train still runs
And though the baggage weighs a ton
We carry on
No one is forever young – I'm not done

This train still runs
Got a ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to ride
Got a motor rolling over to an easy glide
I'm gonna travel on the gravel to the other side
Sure as a baby loves the teat
Sure as a high heel on concrete
Sure as the songs I've left unsung
This train still runs

refrain

This train still runs
This train still runs
This train still... runs
