I am looking for a girl
On a train.
There isn’t anything special about her
There isn’t anything I can tell you about her
Except that
Well,
She smiles an awful lot.
She should be on this train.
She should be sitting on the window seat
And staring at fields of glimmering darkness
And she should be smiling
An awful lot.
I know her very well
You could say,
We grew up together.
I know her of old.
I am looking for a girl
On a train.
She could be sitting at the doors
She could have smiled them open
She could be sitting at open doors
And feeling the heavy wet wind on her face
She could be smiling at the glimmering darkness
And thinking about jumping out
To see if she could fly
I am looking for a girl
On a train.
She’ll be listening to music
Turned up all the way
And she might ignore you
Smiling all the while.
She’ll care less than I do
But will love more than I can
She’ll laugh less than I do
But will dance more than I can
She’ll have seen less than me
But will fly further than I can
She’ll have done less than me
But will do more than I can
And you’ll know her from me
Because she smiles more than me
An awful lot more.
I am looking for a girl
On a train.
