This Train I Ride

This train I ride
has a long way to go
for Thursday’s child
on his way back home
You slipped away
but you didn’t take me
Well you’ll never dream
but forever you sleep
Tell me what it means
Don’t you think it’s wrong?
What does it achieve
to take away the young?
This train I ride
on silver rails
You watch me glide
from the starry trail
