Overnight Trains

(album: Turn The Car Around - 2023)

All's quiet
While she writes in the back room
By the fire
In a wingback chair
The sandstorm glows
The dog's eyes close
We'll wait it out again

I know this part
And we've come so far
But it's not the same
When you wish for things
Like summer drives
And overnight trains
This dam will hold
The dam must hold

So much time
While they build these gates a hundred strong
As this month holds back the sun
Well there's change on the rise
Stay inside, stay inside
Let's climb the walls again
But we've seen this part
And I guess we called it from the start

But life's not the same
When you wish for things
Like summer drives
And overnight trains
This dam will hold
The dam must hold

All rise all rise
Come in from the cold
Get up and fight
Get up and win
There's street riots
And school strikes
'Cos the planet's fried
Don't hold back your weakness alone
'Cos I know you're strong
And there's so much you can learn

But it's not the same
When you wish for things
Like summer drives
And overnight trains
This dam will hold
The dam must hold
