about

It's been a strange few months. I've loved being at home most nights, but lock down has been a weird and unsettling mix of up's and down's. Here's a little song I wrote about all of that.

lyrics

Riding on an empty train
Rolling south, and work again
Empty seats and shattered lives
Brothers, sisters, husbands, wives

And I wonder if we’ll ever be
Back to the place we used to be
Nights with friends in crowded bars
Music, laughter, old guitars

Chorus

And I trust, these days will prove
To bring the best in, best in you
And I hope we look back and see
The best in you, the best in me


Riding on an empty train,
Rolling north and home again
Home to more than town and place
Home to feel your warm embrace

Chorus

Too many times now, I have found
What matters least
Still brings me down
Time to roll away that pain
Riding on an empty train
