Verse 1:
I think I’ve known you, but I still don’t know your name,
It’s like those places that you ’ve never been,
But everything’s the same,
I’ve walked the desert, but I’ve never prayed for rain,
Well I’ve never seen the schedule, but I’ve never missed the train.

Verse 2:
That day I left you, you were standing in the door,
I felt the tears in our eyes, I heard the shutting of the door,
I can’t believe now,
How blind I was to see,
That I let it pass me by when it was right in front of me

Chorus:
I didn’t know then,
That my heart would lead me back,
To those places that I’ve never been,
Back down that railroad track

Verse 3:
Yes, you’ve know pleasure, and you’ve had pockets filled with gold,
You’ve seen princes and their castles,
You’ve been the poor man on the road,
You’ve been a stranger to yourself,
I know, that’s how it’s been with me,
If we keep running like we’re going,
Then we’ll have no place left to be.

Chorus

Verse 4:
It’s good to see you, you’re still standing in the door,
But now you’resmiling like a lover, who knew I was coming back for more,
You never left me,
I just forgot to look inside,
It’s like a circle in the water washed away with the tide.

Chorus
