Long Desert Train lyrics

You used to love a lot of thingsYou used to love talkingThis you never told me aboutIf it's what your eyes were sayingI already figured it outI could just tell it was badI couldn't tell how badYou never took off your shadesAnd you stayed like that for daysI guess your pain never weakenedYour cool blood started burningScorching most of us in the flamesBut there are things you can't changeThere are things you can't changeYou called that the curse of a human's lifeThat you couldn't changeSaid you'd never be old enoughOr young enoughTall enoughOr thin enoughOr smart enoughOr brave enoughRich enoughPretty enoughStrong enoughGood enoughWell you were to usYou wanted silence by itselfJust the wordYou wanted peace by itselfJust to learnThere were things you couldn't changeYou got the dull pounding rainYou got the last car in the long desert trainYou almost made itYou almost made it again
