From the recording The Same Train
Lyrics
The Same Train (written by Cary Park)
verse 1
I unlocked the key to heaven’s gate
Where I found tenderness
Luck and fate
A tattooed arm, got new ink
An old barn got a new coat of paint
verse 2
The world spins to fast, in a fervid pace
On our shoulders, fell the coldest rain
Rain’s always welcome, if it brings change
For a troubled man, a troubled woman to find their way
Chorus 1
And hear the thunder
See the arch of life
Feel the rumble beneath the feet, lightning in the sky
A song and story still remains
How we stumbled till we reached the same place
Forever passengers aboard the same train
verse 3
Thirsted souls, in a waiting game
Around every corner, a year, another day
Shoot till the arrow meets its aim
Find a match, build a fire
Feel the flames
chorus 2
Then hear the thunder
See the arch of life
‘Neath the feet a rumble, lightning from the sky
A song and story, play notes and frames
How we stumbled till we reached the same place
Forever passengers aboard the same train
bridge
Laugh about battles, and hard miles
Feathered angels, fanned steps
Through troubles and trials
Every closet’s got some hangers, some got ghosts
You’re sinking in deep water
Someone throws you a rope
And the hand that cracks the surface
Is a stranger you know
chorus
Hear the thunder
See the arch of life
‘Neath the feet a rumble, lightning from the sky
A song-and-story, play notes and picture frames
How we stumbled till we reached the same place
Forever passengers aboard the same train
