The only way

Yes, I've been on this train for ages
Know every face but I miss the light
I feel this carriage is one of my cages
Locked up for ten stops night by night

Why should I go straight on
The only way I know
Why did I think it was
The only way to go

And then coming back this morning
Did you know what had been the run
I could see that my times are dawning
Maybe she's been where the birds have sung

How can I float on a river
When all the water's gone
How can you hear my voice
When your radio's still turned on
