Waiting For A Train

I know how I got here
Long trip made me late
How much more ground to cover
To reach my sunshine state?

Hasn’t been vacation
The shit that I’ve been through
Some folks use me badly
Some folks use me true

Many stops seemed good enough
But nothing felt just right
Hopped another moving car
Running from the night

Spent some time at this stop
Looking for the grail
Drank from a very lovely cup
But I still see the rails

Back out on the platform
Maybe one more ride
If this don’t get me home, lord
Where will I abide?

Thought that I’d be there now
Sun is sinking fast
Into a land that burns my eyes
Hope this ride is my last.

O celebrate! this special day

when spirits moved among the stars
And brought to earth a precious jewel

to shine a light into my heart.

An angel born in karmic hope

and destined for the shores of earth
has won my love with purest heart

and shown to me her noble worth.

So many years it took to find

the treasure hidden in the dust
of lesser loves and lovers lost

and those who would betray my trust.

At long long last an end has come

to searching for the kindred soul
who knows my pain and by whose love

my wounded spirit is made whole.
