last train to evermore ...
i was drowning in pity under the swoon of blue starlight
pain over pain and then pain again
if only i could see right and then see right
i guess i'd see the plan so simple and so plain
i saw you in the station by the candy machine light
you were buying truth wrapped in some shiny silver foil
i saw the curve of your wings still ragged from flight
and wet not from rain but from love's holiest oil
i sighed by the turnstile and maybe missed the height
of the hope and the trust in your quiet eyes
almost gave up everything without so much as a fight
almost missed the last train to evermore that lit up the skies
i blinked at the darkness that your presence made bright
dumbfounded too long i have wished for my death
or for life over the edge of this endless night
until with a simple kiss you gave me my next breath
