Third Engine Lyrics

The sky grows bigger every day
And the other week I hopped on a train
Cutting through state lines
To come to you as the crow flies
Out there in there offing everything was melon and orange
Did you know, my sweet
Yeah, that I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
And I just want you to know
That every pool of water reminds me of you
Is that all right?
I hope you think it's cool
Yeah, sometimes a train can't go as fast as I want it to
Did you know, my sweet
Yeah, that I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
I rolled over and over
Trying to touch your knees, yeah, underneath the sheets
Trying to touch your knees
Everything seemed a little easier

When we weren't one hundred miles apart
The person across from me
Sitting in her train seat
Reminded me of you
And I looked out past her cheeks
Through the glass-light conduit
The sun had sunk already
Disappeared into New Jersey
Oh, why don't they have phones on these things?
What can I do?
I'm still thinking about you
Did you know, my sweet
Yeah, that I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
I rolled over and over
Trying to touch your knees, yeah, underneath the sheets
Trying to touch your knees
